Our experience with Yelena and her hospitality was incredible. It was truly everything we wanted and more. Our trip was a reunion among six friends from across the country to "reward" ourselves and our visiting guests for the sacrifices we made during the pandemic. It was well worth the wait. We had enough space to be comfortable and relax. We felt like we turned her place into our own home during our stay. At times, it was also an office space for some of us still working in the daytime. The location was amazing with walking distance and short drives to hot spots in Pasadena. Security with her gate was not a problem at all. The kitchen, though tight, was stocked with almost everything we needed. The television could be more user-friendly, but that wasn't a big concern at all. Keeping the house tidy was easy with simple trash removal, laundry use, and a dishwasher. AC made it comfortable all throughout the house. I wish we could've taken advantage of the outdoor space, but we were too comfortable indoors. The only complaint I had was that one bathroom (with a nice bathtub) would have a leak after taking a shower. The newer bathroom more than made up for it with its modern and massaging style. I'd definitely consider staying at this place again and highly recommend it to other groups.
