Ginger's place was cozy and comfortable. It was just right for my boyfriend and me to come to Pasadena to see family nearby. It was an easy walk to restaurants and shops in Old Town. (The Rose Bowl is nearby as well and has a great outdoor aquatic center.) The house is also close to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Vons (I think they are all within 2 miles) which is nice because this place has a cute little kitchen as well as a couple nooks inside (and outside) for sitting down for a meal.

Ginger was very friendly from the start when we exchanged messages about arrival/departure times. She was home to greet us but gave us instructions on what to do should that not have been the case. She was friendly and chatted a bit with us, but left us to relax after a long travel day. We waved and chatted but were off busy with our family most of the time. This was my first airbnb stay so I didn't know quite what to expect but Ginger was a great host.

She has a couple bungalows like this one that are off a central garden. The garden is a Bohemian hideaway that I would have loved to sit and drink/hang out in had the weather been warmer. There are tons of flowers and the kind of plants that are strictly indoor houseplants here in the frozen North. She also invited us to sit on the front porch which is shared with her part of the house.

The bed was comfortable and the sheets and pillows were lovely. I'm pretty picky about sleeping arrangements and I was very happy. Plenty of pillows and smooth sheets. Bed is a double. There are two futons, one next to the bed in the main room and one in a second room that also has a chaise longue (!!) which is a comfy spot for reading. Bath/shower were great too. I liked having a fridge and kitchen since we stayed for five nights. Would definitely stay again!
