I definitely recommend Lia/Garry 's house for you if you like to have a stay at Pasadena. I took my daughter to visit Caltech last week. Their home is close to school and very convenient for me. My daughter likes the decoration of their room . I like the yard full of trees and flowers. Lia/Garry gave us lots of suggestions about travel at the city and they are very friendly too. Lia even shared another room for my daughter with no additional charge .
