Our stay at Helena's place was excellent. Cozy one bedroom cottage with every single ammenity you could need or require. There was lots of communication and anything we needed was available to us. We stayed at Helena's because it was a few close blocks away from the relative we were visiting. Helena's home is on a quiet street very close to a school. Parking was amazing and her laundry machine came in handy after a few days at the beach! I would highly recommend staying here if you want a cozy little quaint cottage in Pasadena minutes in the car from Old town and Rose bowl. I loved it and see myself staying there again!
