Kay's home is a reflection of her--interesting, artsy, resourceful, and laid back. We were very comfortable in her very clean room that was actually much nicer than you'd realize from her photos. She now has two antique dressers that hold a lot of clothing each, one small and one large. She has a glass-topped desk with lots of travel info on the shelves. We were able to use our laptops and printer there. We has a nice sized tub and a shower you can hold or hang. Her laundry facilities are very practical, and she provides detergent. If you want to hang your clothes outside you can or you can use the dryer. Her kitchen is large and well appointed with an accumulation of lots of practical kitchen items. You get to use half the fridge and plenty of time and space to cook. Breakfast items are provided for you to make your breakfast as you wish. She provides eggs, butter, oil, bread, cereal, spices, milk, coffee, tea, sweeteners, and condiments. You have plenty of freedom to sit outside in her front or back yard. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. We slept with the windows open much of the time without any concerns or problems. You can park in her long driveway without issues. You can also park on the street during the day. It's close enough to restaurants, salons, and food stores that you can walk. It's a higher elevation than much of Pasadena so has cleaner air. We felt free to do as we needed for our lives as we were working and were not tourists. We really enjoyed being able to go about our business and feel at home. We were impressed by how helpful Kay was at all times. She really went out of her way. I highly recommend staying at Kay's place.
