I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Old World Charm. The house is lovely and comfortable, on a quiet residential street. It was very clean and had everything I needed to enjoy my stay. It's nicely situated to enjoy Pasadena and the surrounding area. I went to Malibu and Santa Monica by car, and to LA by train (it's an 18-20 minute walk to the gold line station, which takes you right in to Union Station). An 18-20 minute walk in the opposite direction will take you to a small shopping area with Lavender & Honey coffee shop, which has great food and also local jams and honeys for sale.
For some reason I thought there was a hammock in the yard (there isn't), but there is a nice porch swing and the orange tree in the back yard had ripe oranges that guests were welcome to pick.
Communicating with Karilyn was nice and easy. She's lovely in person, but gives guests their space.
Overall it was a wonderful experience. My only regret is that I didn't get to hear anyone play the piano.
