Joe's place is quaint, clean, and well equipped. He was extremely attentive to my requests and questions, and was always in touch with me during my stay. My only critique is that I don't drive (yes, a traveler to a Southern California town who doesn't drive!), and I found that getting into the heart of Old Town Pasadena on foot was a lengthier journey than I anticipated--I was visiting my mom who lives in the heart of Old Town, and the walk was about a half an hour. I actually love to walk, so the time wasn't really an issue; however, I ended up using Uber and taxis to get back at night, since you have to skirt the freeway or walk through an underpass to get back to his house, which didn't seem like a good idea. If you drive, this won't be an issue. Also, if you're planning to visit without a car, supermarkets, and other amenities, are lacking in the general area of this listing.
