This charming space is a bargain for the LA area. The host is very responsive to problems and requests, and tries her best to resolve them promptly. Pro tip, use the dryer only when the occupants of the back unit are away, as otherwise it doesn't start. I suggested to the host that she rewire, and maybe she will. There's a COVID party problem next door on weekends, they have a hundred people in their back yard yelling until 2 AM, or sometimes it's children (which thankfully ends earlier.) Let's hope this is temporary, but it happened 4 times in the course of a month so i don't know when they'll run out of steam. There's a big skylight if light bothers you. There are many squawking parrots outside which are hilarious but they do start early. Also roaming peacocks. Don't ask why. It's a Pasadena thing. Just try not to hit them in the street.
The shared thermostat has proven to be a problem, but the control is on your side, if you set it to a comfortable temperature, the neighbors in front will complain they are freezing. The host supplied me with a portable a/c unit and a fan, which might help if you vent the unit outside. The parking is street, not behind the fence, as advertised. The backyard has turned to dirt but the trees are nice. The most scalding hot water I have ever experienced coming from a tap, so be aware if you have children or value your hands. These aren't really complaints, just advisories. There's plenty of space, the street is really lovely with lots of well-cared blooms, two bathrooms is a bonus, the extra bed is in the kitchen, which I didn't mind. And again, the host is very nice and responsive and tries her best to remedy whatever goes wrong.
