If your travels take you to Pasadena, please consider Rick's loft-style, ground floor studio as your home away from home. It is modern, stylish, clean and well-kept (even though it's his own part-time home). The bed was especially comfortable and the private patio seating very inviting. It is very conveniently located, a short 1-1/2 block walk from Colorado Blvd (the main street with shops and restaurants, and where we had grandstand seating for Rose Parade). A 1/2 block the other way is a decent casual restaurant with a large menu. We noticed, but did not use, metro station and bus stop nearby. Parking is off-street behind electric gate. The unit is also behind the gate, set back from the somewhat busy street, so as to be safe and quiet. Didn't meet Rick, but we communicated via text. This was my first AirBnB experience, so I probably had more questions than usual, but he was patient, polite, helpful and quick to respond. Breakfast fixings, beverages and snacks were graciously supplied - the peanut butter pretzels were addicting. We were even welcomed with an artful arrangement of fresh flowers. If I ever need to stay in Pasadena again, I'll hope Rick's place will be available.
