the room was tidy and the bed very comfortable.it helped us get through the jetlag without a problem. Catherine is a very friendly host with an interesting story to tell. she prepared great breakfast every day. we loved having the breakfast by the pool! and the location is great,in a quiet neighborhood yet not too far from the main pasadena streets. Catherine told us also about some of Pasadena's hidden gems once she found out what we were interested in. we would definitely stay again!
