I would definitely stay at Michele's place again next time I'm in the area. Everything we needed was provided. The WiFi was great for working and the location is such a nice peaceful place. I really enjoyed going out for a walk in the evening, so many of the neighbors are out walking the lovely neighborhood. The local recommendations in the host book were fantastic. We also enjoyed several places over in Old Pasadena which is only a few miles away.
The communication from Michele was always excellent. There was a minor issue with the toilet and Michele and her husband took care of it right away and provided frequent updates.
The one very small downside is that in the private patio area just outside the private entrance there were a lot of mosquitos. We were unable to enjoy sitting outside because of them and we tried to rush walking through and closing the door quickly behind us so that they didn't get into the room.
