This felt like a home away from home. Ginger was a perfect host and her place was lovely and great for our family if for with two small kids under 3. From our experience, it felt to us like they put a lot of thought and energy into hosting and it shows! We would love to stay with them again when we come back to Pasadena.
Here are some highlights:
She met us super late at night on Friday and helped us get settled in. She has a lovely garden and the kids got to pick oranges and lemons from the trees. The place is clean and well stocked. For example, there were a lot of fruits, eggs and milk in the fridge. Many slides were available. They had toothpaste and shampoo. For the kids, they even had a small bathroom stool and a booster seat with a tray!
Layout:
The place was more spacious than expected. The layout was quite linear. So from front to back there was a living area, the main area, the kitchen then the mudroom. The front door opens into a small living space with keyboard and 2 futons. Then there is a door into the main living area. The living area opens into a large walk in closet (side), a bathroom and the kitchen. The kitchen then has a door to the mudroom and that leads to the nice back yard. Your parking space is in the back.
