I stayed at Betsy and Manuel's studio for a month. Every detail about this airbnb was perfect including the actual space, location, and hosts. The best way I can describe this airbnb is that it's a studio that somehow manages to feel like a real house.
Although this was a studio, I had more than enough room. There is ample storage space to keep your belongings accessible while still out of sight. I'm very particular about how I organize things, so I really appreciated that. I brought a few items I thought I would need for a month long stay, but I was surprised to find these items were already provided in the airbnb. Betsy and Manuel also exceeded my expectations in stocking the airbnb with useful items I did not initially think to bring. You can definitely sense the level of care that Betsy and Manuel have put into this airbnb. Not only is it the most well-stocked airbnb I've ever stayed in, but it also has everything you need for daily living. Most studios I've stayed in only have a small kitchenette, but this airbnb has a full kitchen with a stove, oven, full-sized refrigerator, and dining table. The airbnb even has a washer and dryer onsite and its own dedicated mailbox if you need to receive mail.
The studio is located in a quaint and charming neighborhood in close proximity to Old Town Pasadena. Although the neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet, anything you need is a short drive (or even walk) away. This area is also perfect for people who love trying new food because you will never run out of food options here. It's also a great place to walk or jog.
Betsy and Manuel were excellent hosts - they responded promptly whenever I needed anything. The studio is located right behind their house, but they definitely respect your privacy while also making you feel right at home.
I can't recommend Betsy and Manuel's airbnb enough! I would definitely want to stay here again and hope to do so again soon :)
