I’ll admit I was surprised how inexpensive this listing was for a private unit with a kitchen, WiFi and TV. The queen bed was fairly comfortable and there was ROKU on the tv so we could watch Netflix and Prime. There is a kitchenette with small fridge, microwave and hot plate. There is no living room though so if your partner wants to sleep and you want to stay up to watch tv, etc, you’re out of luck.
There was a fair amount of noise fairly early on in the morning (garbage trucks and people walking around loudly in the unit above and this was 6:30am) and the flood lights outside the bedroom windows continually turned on and off all night which woke me up a lot.
I assumed from the ad when they said they were right down the street from Target that they meant Old Town Pasadena and that they were referring to the Target on Colorado. I was wrong. The place was a in whole other section of Pasadena (East Pasadena I believe, which I was unfamiliar with.) It didn’t end up mattering really because I was only staying one night, but it was not a neighborhood I felt great about and if I was traveling alone I definitely wouldn’t have stayed there. If you’re on a super tight budget and are ok with a so-so neighborhood, than you should be fine. Personally, I probably wouldn’t stay here again. I would rather pay another $30 or $40 and be in a better neighborhood and get a better nights sleep.
