I was in Pasadena for a 4-day convention and stayed at Kerri's house. She is such a lovely and welcoming host; made sure all her guests were comfortable and knew about each other.
Her house is beautiful and stunning, and I absolutely loved staying there, especially in the room I stayed in with the large bathtub. I made use of her kitchen everyday by making all my meals.
I didn't have a car and flew into Pasadena from Sacramento. I took Lyft and Uber to and from the convention and to a few stores. The location of her house to the Pasadena Convention and to nearby stores took 10-15 min at most. My fees averaged roughly less than $6/ride during non-surcharge hours. Surcharge hours were about $20/ride. It was great being able to commute to and from Kerri's to the convention. I had thought about walking, but it would have been an hour for me to walk so I had opted for Lyft.
All in all, loved my stay at Kerri's and would definitely return, should I be in he area. Highly recommend staying at Kerri's rather than the hotels.
