I booked Josie's place after reading all of the great reviews...and I'm so happy that I did! Perfect stay from beginning to end. Fast responses, great directions, easiest check-in ever. The guest house was exactly what I needed for a weekend visiting the South Pasadena area. You're 15 minutes or less away from so many things. It was spotless, well-appointed, and quiet. I didn't have time to take advantage of the pool, but it was lovely. The bed was very comfortable, and the linens and towels were so fresh and soft. Snacks and coffee were provided. Josie kindly provides a paid parking pass for street parking, which is right in front of her home and very safe. You're minutes away from shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, gas stations...anything your heart desires. Every place I visited had the nicest people working. I think I may be spoiled and unable to stay in a random hotel again, because this was completely perfect for me! Thanks, Josie!
