From the first moment I arrived at Carolyn's wonderful home I felt like family. If you are creative, inspired by creativity, or engaged through creative discussion over home-made cappuccino, her musical energy will enhance your Pasadena/Los Angeles area experience. Carolyn's warm effervescence is genuine, sweet and unwavering.

If you enjoy walking through very safe neighborhoods of quaint homes day or night, possibly to the Metro light rail station about a mile away, you'll find such here. If you enjoy reading or sipping tea in a tree shaded back yard with a delicate fountain and the occasional cheery sounds of wild parrots flying overhead, you'll find that here as well. How about meeting eclectic people from time to time while being introduced to local live entertainment events? These activities are alive and well here at whatever level you desire!

You'll have privacy which also feeling part of Carolyn's family. My month-long stay was consistently pleasurable as I established a new job in old town Pasadena several miles away. A weekly farmer's market is a 10-minute walk away along classic wide streets from a century ago. I could easily imagine horse-drawn carriages making their way to the early homes along East Mountain Street - many of which are here today.

Quiet evenings assure great sleep. I often slept better here than in my previous residence. You'll be within a mile of the I-210 freeway without hearing it. The ambience within Carolyn's homey home is more than mere words can describe, with harp music floating down the hallway every so often. Few Airbnb's can offer as much relaxing value as Carolyn has crafted here!
