This was an incredible experience overall. It was my first "single room" experience with AirBnb and I could not have been luckier. Roberta graciously welcomed me into her home for a month and my stay was picture perfect.
The location is perfect. ~1.5 mi east is a shopping center with a TJ's, Best Buy, Dick's, 24 hr fitness, LA Fitness, and more. ~1.5 mi west and you hit Lake, around which all of Pasadena is centered. If you travel on foot/bike, the walk along Orange Grove is wonderfully scenic and pleasant, especially in the cool Pasadena mornings/evenings.
Everything was sparkling clean and Roberta provided any amenity you could think of -- plus great snacks!
Her pets (2 cats 3 rabbits) are all so sweet and well-behaved, a clear reflection of a caring owner.
Again, the stay was perfect.
