Markus' home is the absolute prime location for a stay in Pasadena California. It’s literally a 5 minute walk (or less) to any place you'd possibly need such as: restaurants, grocery stores, gym, banks, target, cvs.. you name it. To be honest I only used my car to drive to work and back. Also as a petite woman - I felt extremely safe while walking in this neighborhood during the day and evening times. Even though everything is within walking distance, the condo itself is absolutely quiet and peaceful since its on a side street away from the immediate commotion.
Markus provides you with a parking spot located under the building so you don't have to worry about the stressful parking conditions in Los Angeles.
As if the pictures aren't amazing enough - The inside of Markus' home looks even better than you could imagine. Everything is extremely put together, clean and the atmosphere is refreshing. I had my own personal space in the bedroom, bathroom and personal common area. Theres a desk in the corner with a lot of open space and window lighting. I felt right at home as soon as I arrived because of the relaxing ambiance of his home but also Markus himself is extremely welcoming, attentive and will do everything in his power to make your stay the best!
Two things to keep in mind:
1. Markus only allows at least 31 days of rent at a time due to housing regulations in his area
2. The entrance to the location is on a one-way street so be vigilante of signs when arriving. But Markus is so kind that he actually met me in front when I arrived, then he directed me to the parking area.
#1 place to stay in Pasadena by far!
