Very comfortable, ensuite garden room in a very quiet street in south Pasadena, less than five minutes walk from the Metro station. That means it's just under 15 minutes from Union Station on the train, and 30-35m from Hollywood once you've switched lines.
There are several good coffee bars & restaurants around the station and down towards Fair Oaks, plus a Trader Joe's that's also two blocks away. Loads more restaurants etc within two or three stops on the Metro in Old Pasadena.
This is an ideal base for 1 or 2 people looking to explore LA and Carol is a geat host, incredibly quick to respond to queries. Also, if arriving from the airport take the LAX Flyaway to Union and then get the Metro - will save you at least $50 in an Uber.
