I had a great month in Lia's beautiful house. I enjoyed my private bathroom and quiet bedroom as well as the beautiful neighborhood, which was perfect for jogging. Lia thoughtfully stocked the guest fridge with yogurt, milk, and eggs and also provided cereal and fruit, so that was one less thing to worry about! I also appreciated many tips from Lia about how to get around on public transport and what to see when I went into the city. She was nice enough to pick me up from the nearby metro station when I got in with lots of luggage, and helped with my move out, too - thanks, Lia! Downtown Pasadena with some fun bars, movies, and shops is a short bike ride or bus ride away, and it's really easy to get into LA, too. My only concern was that the wifi in my room was a bit erratic which made Skype difficult at times. Otherwise, this house was perfect for my month at the Huntington Library. I highly recommend this location and its considerate hostess.
