I stayed in Sandra's home for four nights and had a wonderful stay. The room is clean, bright, and perfect for 1 person, and there's a patio right outside of the room that's perfect for relaxing in the evening. The house is a short walk from the metro station as well as a grocery store, and a walkable distance to Old Town Pasadena. I was doing research at the Huntington Library, and while that is a bit of a walk, the walk was quiet and very do-able. Sandra herself was lovely and generous-I'd definitely recommend her to other travelers!
