I loved Amalya's place. It was located very closely to my work and all of my favorite Pasadena dining places, which made it super convenient for me to make different trips for various occasions. Amalya's husband Alex showed us around of their place in person and he was really sweet and nice with arranging the parking situation for us. Their place has virtually everything one needs to live comfortably for a while, and well stocked (We were able to make beautiful pasta dishes with the utencils they provided:)). I am an Asian who likes to take off my shoes asap entering the house so i needed to mop the floor in the beginning, but other than the floor, everything was beautifully clean! Thank you for hosting us!
