My stay at Audrey's was my first airbnb experience, and it was a very positive one. I spent ten nights in Audrey's lovely guest room while visiting family in the area. The room is very peaceful and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed, a seating area, a television and DVD player (with a library of DVD movies for you to pick from), books, and a desk. Fresh fruit was waiting for me when I arrived exhausted from a cross-country flight and a 2-hour trip from LAX out to east Pasadena.

Both Audrey herself and her home are warm and welcoming. I did not prepare any meals at Audrey's except my morning tea and a bowl of yogurt, but her kitchen is very nice and she makes it available to guests. I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and seeing the gorgeous San Gabriel mountains nearby. There are many amenities within a few blocks of Audrey's, such as the Sierra Madre Villa light rail station, which I utilized in getting to/from LAX (along the with FlyAway shuttle from LAX to Union Station). There is also a branch of the Pasadena Public Library just a few blocks away.
