Bidan and Mark are great hosts. They are very communicative and quick at responding. The studio was really stylish and well appointed. The king size bed, pillows, and sheets were extremely comfortable. As someone who really values rest and relaxation, we got very restful sleep while we stayed there.
They live in Bungalow Heaven which is a beautiful neighborhood in Pasadena. The location is near a nice park which was perfect for our dog, and a quick 2 min drive or 10-15 min walk to cafes and shops.
The studio has great natural light, a desk/work area, a loveseat/reading area, a dorm room fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. And of course access to their gorgeous lap pool.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The only challenge we had during our stay was the slow internet speed. This made working remotely challenging. I think this is because they were also online during the day so perhaps there were too many devices hitting the same router. The cell service in the studio for myself on AT&T and my husband on Verizon was spotty as well (both of us only had 1-2 bars) so we couldn’t do a proper hot spot either. It’s just something to keep in mind if you need to do video streaming, conference calls, or file downloads during your stay.
Other than that I highly recommend staying with Bidan and Mark. We will certainly be back!
