We booked Penelope and Carlos' place for a family friend and it was absolutely perfect for their stay. The place has been newly renovated and perfectly planned for a short or long stay. The appliances are all new, as is everything else in the apartment.
It's located across the street from a complex that has a great grocery store. It's about a 10 minute walk into Old Town Pasadena.
They have multiple units and we needed to extend our stay by a day at the last minute. Unfortunately the original unit we stayed in was booked, but Penelope and Carlos were extremely helpful and responsive and made another unit available to us right away and made the whole process of moving over seamless. They were really great attentive hosts!
