*The great: Wei-Xing was an excellent host. This is a fact!
*The middle: parking permits (all of Pasadena is like this); kitchen not ideally suited for cooking - a mishmash/mismatch of dishes and silverware and such. The building/apartments/windows/kitchen have not been remodeled since originally built in 1960's.
*The bad: nearly constant noise from slamming doors - cars below, floors above, and doors (all of them in adjacent apartments); loud squeaking floors above.
Value was great, but if you are not getting a good nights sleep, then there is no value.
