Gina’s home was perfect for my 3 day stay for a quiet weekend with two friends. We hired a private chef & had a beautiful brunch set up in the backyard. Full kitchen had everything our chef needed to make a feast. The backyard by far is the BEST AMENITY! We truly enjoyed ourselves. As far any downsides to the home, we thought it could have been cleaned better. After walking around with white socks on for about an hour they were black underneath. Usual wear/tear on a home was present. I would say the shower in the master bedroom, I wished was more put together, the white/yellowish caulking made me not even want to take a shower in there. I was really looking forward to using it but ended up not. I’m also very picky when it comes to bathrooms so I’m sure it’ll be fine for future guests. There is also a blue light inside the vents in each bathroom which we immediately thought was a camera or some sort of recording device...it’s not. It goes on/off with the switch I believe for motion detection since the lights cut on automatically when you walk in. We were also a younger group of girls (24-25) and we had a small incident when we were out front smoking on the sidewalk (in swimsuits) a random woman pulled up in front of the house & cursed us out/called us names for smoking & told us to take it to the backyard. We didn’t engage in confrontation & she continued to drive along. I guess smoking “w33d” is not a reg everyday out in the open thing in Pasadena since it is an older neighborhood but other than that no issues. Just keep that in mind if you plan on staying here. There is no smoking on the property, in which we followed the guidelines to smoke out front on the sidewalk/street. Gina was super accommodating and we got to check in a bit early due to some issues we had at the rental car place! That was awesome! Other than that I loved my stay at Gina’s and it was perfect for what I needed to enjoy my birthday. Check in/out was a breeze! :)
