Elizabeth offers the use of her peaceful 1950s (?) bungalow, with well-equipped kitchen, stocked with more than just the basics. It would provide a lovely base for exploration of the area, with the possibility of fixing one's own meals as desired. The quiet courtyard provided a respite from the hubbub of Los Angeles, and even of Pasadena, while lying only a couple of blocks north of the freeway. I stayed for an event that ran from morning to evening, so didn't make full use of everything Elizabeth offered, but enjoyed waking to bird songs rather than the din of traffic, and walking to my event from her quiet residential street. It looks like a variety of restaurants lie within only a short block or two, and the busy Colorado Blvd lies only 15 minutes walk south. I see two stops for the metro blue line a similar distance away, making the location suitable for events downtown.
All communication was clear and prompt, and check-in and -out could not have been easier.
Highly recommended.
