This stdio apt. was just as described, with nice touches such as a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Well lit, open plan, and plenty of table space, chairs and a couch to stretch out. Enjoyed my stay - thanks Amalya!
Note that: if your car is too long to fit in their spot (as mine was) there is a parking garage just across Arroyo Blvd. with relatively cheap daily rates. This is less risky than street parking (the city of Pasadena tickets quite aggressively, especially overnight).
