We are very glad to have stayed at Carolyn's place. We had to choose amongst various offers in Pasadena and finally opted for her place because of the warm atmosphere of the rooms (according to the photos) and her personal description and communication. In fact, Carolyn turned out to be the best hostess we ever experienced. She made us feel very welcome as a family and did not mind the little inconveniences of having a little child around at all. On the contrary -- we felt as if we were at home and had always known each other. Carolyn was very helpful regarding any questions we had and hosted us also in this regard well beyond the mere obligations of a landlady. The rooms were very beautifully decorated and the whole house had an artistic touch to it. The kitchen was very easy to use and absolutely well equipped. We also appreciated the quiet and safe neighborhood with an amazing view of the Sierra Madre mountains. There is a playground within walking distance and the beautiful and lively Old Pasadena is easy to reach by car and the Metro Golden Line. We can highly recommend Carolyn's home and would always come back for another visit.
