Rick's place is as good as advertised. It's small, but it's clean and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable, including air conditioning, which when it's hot is a real advantage. Rick's place is also advantageously located, it's high up in the hills so you get a spectacular view of the surrounding terrain. Another advantage is that it's close to the Pasadena and Glendale parts of the LA metroplex, and both these places have charms of their own slightly different from other parts of LA. This is a wonderful rental for the value and location, and I highly recommend it.
