Kristin and Richard were so welcoming from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. We had originally booked the studio, but as the cottage was available we upgraded and Karen and I were able to have our own separate bedrooms which was wonderful. The cottage was comfortable and we were able to prepare our own meals too! Kristin and Richard had left us some fruit, a selection of teas, coffees, water and snacks on arrival and told us that we could use whatever we wanted in the kitchen which was catered with various spices, oils etc which we were able to use when cooking. The neighbourhood was lovely - very quiet and safe - with cafes and groceries within walking distance. Kristin and Richard were very helpful whenever we had any problems eg letting me check in on their ipad and printing off my boarding pass for my return passage to the UK. They also helped us with the Uber and we managed to get a free ride through their referral! We loved every minute of our experience, which was the first with Airbnb, and we would definitely go back to the Cottage if we are back in South Pasadena in the future! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience. Ismini
