Karilyn's place is like getting a 4 star hotel at a Motel 6 price. Truly a WONDERFUL place to stay. Just beautifully decorated and taken care of. Honestly, since I usually opt to save money, I haven't stayed in a place this nice yet. With a hostess this nice. Karilyn was very attentive to me showing up late and even had a parking pass on the street ready for me. Lots of parking. The room was lavish. Far exceeded what I expected. Great amenities. Folded towels and soap in my room like a fine hotel. Karilyn greeted me and we talked for a bit and she showed me around the house and especially the kitchen, filled with late night or breakfast food. Safe beautiful neighborhood. In fact, I met her neighbor on the way out who informed me that the house used to be owned years ago by the original owner of the great Pasadena newspaper. Of course, even though it has some years on it, it looks wonderfully new. In short, I loved it. And highly recommend it. <3
