Susan is a great host, she is friendly and she is happy to make references for you to places to see, shop, or visit. I had to extend my stay in LA and I stayed with Susan for almost one month. Her house is great and spacious with large kitchen and your large bedroom will have access into a large cozy backyard. The bed is comfy. House location is close to many small restraunts in Pasadena all within walking distance. The location is in a very quiete residential area within 2 min easy access to freeway. The house cannot always be 100% clean because of the dog on the plus side you do not have to take shoes off inside. Bathroom is very nice and clean, you can take nice hot showers. Enjoy your stay!!!
