Sandra was an effortless host at once being very attentive, warm and engaging yet also being totally unobtrusive in my activities and needs for time spent at her amazing home which was an additional highlight to a business trip. She truly offers a B and B experience with ample breakfast items available (she even takes special requests!) and a high quality coffee, tea and water service is always available. When you arrive your room has a complimentary bottle of wine, San Pelligrino and water laid out on a serving tray with a personal welcome note and the wi-fi code, there are books and music available in your room as well, classy touch. You have a toiletry basket and comfy robe provided for your use. And in case you forgot something she has some travel size toiletries available. Staying at her house was like being in a European B and B, the home was a very well appointed lovely old craftsman in a great neighborhood, 10 minutes from the Pasadena convention center where I had an art show and super close to the freeway, Trader Joes and many restaurants. She has a dog and I love dogs but if you're not crazy about them don't let the fact she has one keep you from a stay with her. The dog will literally not be around most of the time, she spends a lot of time napping amongst the roses, I can't blame her! I myself enjoyed evenings on the porch as sunset with all the blooming roses, trees and bushes of the beautiful neighborhood. If you are visiting Pasadena and would like not only a place to stay but also a true Bed and Breakfast experience/service in one of Pasadena's lovely well preserved craftsman homes to boot, this is the place. Thanks so much Sandra! Even though I was on a business trip, when I was at the house it was like a vacation!
