The description listed doesn't really doesnt give you a sense of what you are getting. For one, you are secluded in the foothills of the mountains that loom over Pasadena, which overlooks everything. In houses that, once you see why, you'll understand the cost of living in California. Two, once you arrive there you are getting a perfect room for 1 or 2 people, at least the one I occupied was. Sherry will give you a key to your room and a remote for the front gate, she's a gracious host, so if you have the time, talk to her. If privacy is what you are looking for, then you'll get it here. You are out there, about a 5min or so drive to stores or restaurants and the freeway. The room itself is cozy and intimate, like i said perfect for 1 or 2 people. If you need something like an iron or something else, ask Sherry ahead of your check-in and it will most likely be in your room before you get there. This place is worth the look, next time I'm in Pasadena I'm staying here. Thanks Sherry...
