This beautiful Pasadena house, I came to regard as home. Being placed at the Huntington Library for a three-month research project, I was looking for somewhere close for work but also a place I could get out and see the city without the use of a car. The house has two metro stations close by that take you all over LA, shops and amenities are within walking distance and Old Town Pasadena is only a short bus ride away. The house itself is open, warm and full of character. My room was large, with a huge bed and ample storage space; Pat kindly put a desk in for me so I could work comfortably. The outside pool/patio area was my favourite place as it makes a great entertaining space and the Jacuzzi is great! The only thing more wonderful than the house was the host – Pat and her lovely pets Annie, Ella and Ginger. I felt completely welcomed and comfortable in the house as soon as I entered; I was even taken on a tour of the local area and invited to events by Pat and her friends which was wonderful. Pat was also very accommodating of any friends I wished to invite over and I had two guests stay with me and they were extended the same warm welcome I had received. She was and is truly amazing. If anyone is looking for an open, social space in a great location then I encourage you to stay here! I know I will be returning – thank you for everything Pat!
