This was one of my better stays in Airbnb, not because of the fancy smancy decor or large rooms but because of the host and how he goes out of the way to make his guests happy and feel comfortable about staying in one of his rooms. The apartment is in a great part of Pasadena being so close to Caltech, so the vibe is small university town with beautiful suburban homes a couple blocks away. Plus you are going to be not too far from downtown or if you want to go further East. The room is just spotless and the king size bed in the room we stayed in is very comfortable. I would completely stay here again and wish I found it earlier !
