I stayed there in April and May 2018, while working temporarily at NASA JPL, since booking it was easier than finding a short-term lease or sublet from out of town.
Location
Pros:
- Hiking nearby
- Quiet
- close to JPL
Cons
- not much else of interest is in Altadena
- neighborhood is not walkable, sidewalks seem randomly placed in this area. The nearest shop is a mile away. These are only issues if you don't have a car.
- the little narrow driveway, that the house is at the end of, is not obvious or well-marked from the street. Visitors may have a hard time finding it precisely but they can get close.
Accommodations
- Comfortable king bed. There is also a futon which folds out, and a couch that someone could sleep on if you really needed to.
- Fully furnished and has all the appliances and kitchenware you would expect in a home. I used the kitchen's oven, stovetop, and microwave to make breakfast and dinners often.
- Spacious, more space than living in a hotel room or a spare guest room offered by some other Airbnbs.
- Clothes washer/dryer are on the back of the house, function normally, and are available to use any time.
- The internet is fast and reliable; the router is in the living room.
- There is a fenced-in side yard and small deck, which makes a nice place to sit outside.
The hosts live next door, are kind and quick to respond if there are any problems with your stay.
