tl;dr: This is a nice little property close to Pasadena. Some inconsistencies with the booking details (morning noises, tight toilet space, no iron initially) and concerns with the host.
Checkin: The check in process was very easy and the host communicated with us early and often, checking to ensure we had what we needed. He included water bottles in the fridge, and a nice welcome note. Parking on the street was very easy, and there was no charge for this.
Noise: The original posting does not list that the gardener comes at 8am on Saturdays (see HOUSE RULES), though it is in the fine print once you place the booking (see HOUSE MANUAL). There are also dogs that bark pretty early. There are some things to keep in mind if you plan to sleep in.
Cleanliness: Overall the room was pretty clean. However, since there are tons of trees outside, we did find a few spiders inside the room, as well as a dangling spider web in the corner.
Design: I really appreciated the mid-century modern design. There was also a nice patio outside, though unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy it. The only issue I had with design was the closeness of the toilet to the wall. It is very close, so if you are very tall you may be quite uncomfortable.
Hospitality: The host was very communicative through the AirBnB app. He was able to provide an iron when one was not included in the room (though the listing said there would be one). The one thing I did not care for was a note on the wall asking for a 5 star rating in all categories. It said we should reach out to the host if we are not able to give a 5 star rating, and he will "rectify the situation". The other literature also had a similar tone. I found this a bit presumptuous, though I may have complied with a friendly host. I met the host when he brought the iron, and he was not particularly friendly. From this interaction, I did not feel comfortable voicing my concerns and have instead mentioned them in my online review.
Overall, I felt we had what we needed, and the listing was relatively accurate (with the exception of the few things that were left out). The abrasive nature of the literature in the room combined with my interaction with the host makes me question whether I would return.
