I would highly recommend a stay with Claudette. She is a wonderful host and her place is ideal for a stay in Los Angeles.The room is comfortable andhas everything you need whether you are just visiting or like me you need to do some work.The desk is a good size and there is a large flat screen TV in the room. I like the location because it is close to the downtown and the city of Pasadena. Street parking is plentiful and close by. The view from the road is very nice and a good place to sit and drink a cup of coffee in the morning. Claudette makes you feel at home and she even let me use the washer and dryer.There is also room in the fridge to store food.
