My mother, little sister, and I stayed in Pasadena for a week to visit my older sister who lives nearby. We stayed in Ellen's place for a week. The space was very clean and well-organized for an open layout. Ellen and Ed were very welcoming and made us feel really comfortable in their guest home and yard - Ellen shared recommendations for local spots and fresh limes from the tree! We had a great, low-key visit. The only minor challenge was parking - we were not able to keep our car on the street overnight - but Ellen found a spot for us in her neighbor's yard.
