This was a 5+ star experience thanks to the incredible hospitality of Carol from the time of the reservation to check out. She was so helpful and knowledgeable with everything we could ever need ... and all the things we hadn't even thought of! From awesome local restaurants to maneuvering the public parking/transit to the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl she helped make our bucket list dream come true! Her home is bright, clean and cozy with everything we could possibly need to cook meals and feel at "home". The area was perfect for long walks with our dog thru the adorable neighborhood. We ended up walking a lot farther than planned because it was all so fun! Safe, clean and perfectly located to catch the metro train, buses, shopping, Old Pasadena, restaurants and everything else. Can't say enough about our entire experience. Carol even took our little dog out for a potty break while we were at the Rose Bowl! Thanks, Carol!! You're awesome! Hope to see you again next year!
