I came to Pasadena to live, and I stay in Carolyn's place for a month while searching for a place to rent for my wife, baby and I. Carolyn was from the first day very sweet and welcoming (what a great chicken thai style soup she made the first night for me!).

During my whole stay Carolyn shared with me all the hints, and clue practical information a newcomer wanted to know about Pasadena, very often over diner enjoying gorgeous Californian red wines!

In the end, I am happy to say that I didn't find just an excellent host, I found a friend!
