John's place is in a perfect location. You are two blocks from the main old Pasadena shopping and eating drag along Colorado and about half a mile from all the Lake Street shopping
And eateries. It's two blocks to the Gold Line train which takes you into south Pasadena and Chinatown and connects you to downtown LA. The paseo is a block away with more restaurants and movie theatres. In fact, I was able to walk to 4 different movie theatres and 5 grocery stores. I didn't need a car as I could walk everywhere.
The place is spacious and easily accommodates guests. Although the flooring is a little tired, the bathrooms looh pretty updated
I cook a lot and enjoyed having a full kitchen.
I would recommend you give this place a try
