There were many things to love about this listing. The space is just like the photos on the website. The neighborhood is so picturesque as it sits at the base of the mountains and is close to a canyon park. My mom and I stayed here in order to attend the Rose Parade, and the proximity to Pasadena was perfect - and for a fantastic price! My mother found the bed quite comfortable, and the couch (which I slept on) was very comfortable as well. Dorothy was very responsive to any requests we had, and she left an incredible supply of food that could have easily fed us for the entire trip!

On the other hand, it's important to note that heat in this unit is limited. I imagine this unit would be very comfortable in the spring, summer, and fall, but evening temperatures in late December during our visit reached into the 30s. Although heat is listed as an amenity, there was NO heat in the unit. Electronic space heaters were provided, but it was not until after we requested them that first night and we had to wait until the next day to receive them. In addition, hot water is limited. The shower could be scalding (with weak water pressure from the shower head), but the bathroom and kitchen sinks rarely provided warm water (even when we tried different faucets in case they were reverse plumbed).

Overall, this was a great stay, but being aware of the items above will help you plan your trip accordingly.
