This AirBnB is a lovely, bungalow in a Pasadena, Ca, residential area that is close to anything you could possibly want or need. In Pasadena itself there are a ton of nice restaurants and many, many sites to see like Eaton Canyon and Huntington Library. There are nearby roads in the mountains that make for very scenic drives. Then the other direction you have Los Angeles and all it has to offer. I'm not even going to try. If you want something in LA, do a web search and you will find that which you desire in abundance.
From Pasadena to Santa Monica on Old Route 66 is a very nice drive as well, and the Santa Monica Pier and beach are very fun.
The host here, Carol, is proactive in making sure her guests have what they need. There was a very minor issue with the heater while we were there and she got right on the repair, provided extra blankets and even bought a new electric room heater for us.
We could not have asked for a better host or to have a location nicer than Pasadena
