If you are looking for a quiet, modern, simple retreat this is the place for you.
I would equate the place to a stay at a Marriott Residence Inn in feel & size but with the personality & privacy an Airbnb provides.
This is a converted studio with all the basic amenities you need: comfy bed, nice shower, small kitchen & fridge with basics for cooking a meal for 1-2 people, small coffee machine, tea pot, & big tv with streaming. Also had google home set up which was fun for my kid & convenient to turn on lights.
The best parts were the shared garden & the location.
My son & I went to quarantine away from a family member who had traveled out of state & to get a change of scenery.
Pasadena is wonderful, especially in Winter & Spring. Konrad’s place is in a great location. Lots of trees & nature. We saw many birds & lizards in the yard. Nicely designed & great to sit on a warm day.
It is walking distance to Trader Joe’s, Pitfire Pizza, Jones coffee stand, Starbucks coffee, Shake Shack, CVS & more. Much more in far walking or driving distance. Could take Metro here, but longer walk. It’s near south Pas, downtown Pas, Huntington Gardens, & all of LA really. We also used Door Dash a couple times with no trouble.
It’s on a main street, but in the unit very little noise. There is another unit next door. We heard a car door shut a couple times, but no noise from other guests. No complaints of us we were aware of. Nice change from where we live. Street wasn’t terribly busy compared to where we live in LA either so outdoors pretty peaceful to sit & chill or work. We had a few WiFi issues, but overall ok & let Konrad know.
We only saw Konrad in passing, but he was nice & responsive to messages. Self check in & check out was easy. Friendly.
My only recommendation would be if if you like it dark at night, you may want to bring eye mask or something to block light because lots of little blue light from inside devices & some outdoor light shines in through top windows. Not too bothersome to us, but I use eye mask. If with a baby could be an issue. Not sure if this ideal spot for a baby, but that’s a personal choice. I appreciate family friendly Airbnb, or adaptable ones. My son is a bit older so we were comfy. He complained not much to do, but easily distracted by devices, a balloon, & lots of parks locally to go to.
Enjoy your stay whether local or visiting from afar!
