We had a great time staying at Carol's place. We like cooking, and the apartment had everything we needed. Carol is a wonderful host, she helped us to stay up to date on what was happening around Pasadena and LA, reminding us about walking tours, lectures, gardens. It took us less than 10 min to walk to the Metro Gold station, and we used the light rail for most events in LA and Hollywood. Carol let us use her garage to park our car and took care of our dog during our short trips out of town.
