Helena was great with communication before and during the booking. The apartment itself was nicely decorated and the bed was very comfy. However a couple of things to note, the Kitchen is not really fully stocked for cooking, it has a coffee machine, but no measuring jugs e.t.c so don't expect to cook anything complex. Also we happened to be at the place during a very hot period and the A.C just wasn't up to it, it was so hot most nights that e had pretty bad sleep (we are however British so take that into account).

Location wise, the apartment is in a slightly dodgy area (every time we got a cab/Uber the drivers where surprised we would be staying in this area).

It's also not really walkable to most of the old town pasadena amenities or any decent shops/restaurants so if you are in need of these you will need to get a bus or drive. That said, the parking in pasadena is free for 90 minutes and plentiful so not a huge issue.
