Monica's guesthouse was an absolute gem! The amount of care that was put into the entire home immediately made this one of my favorite Airbnb stays, and it's only a matter of time before she's listed as a Superhost. The thoughtfulness that was invested in not just the decor of the apartment but in the lovely small touches really made this feel like a cross between a boutique luxury hotel and an instant feeling of a home.
The kitchen is very well-appointed with not only a full set of standard kitchenware, but also lovely surprises like a high-end crepe pan and complimentary gourmet coffee. The WiFi was also blazingly fast, clocking in at fiber speeds which is handy if you need to work during your stay.
We really enjoyed taking long walks around the charming and quiet neighborhood, and the location is minutes from just about any grocery store or restaurant you'd want to visit in the Pasadena area. (Getting delivery was simple too, because of how central Monica's home is!)
All in all, if you're looking for an extended stay, this guesthouse offers a great deal of privacy while being in a friendly neighborhood, and Monica was a wonderfully helpful host! Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a stay in Los Angeles.
