I have mixed views of the place (3 of 5). I first reviewed my communication with host and listing to ensure my review is fair and accurate. The cottage USED TO be part of Langham Pasadena Hotel but no longer. The general public can walk inside around hotel and dine. So being a guest at this place does NOT grant you special privileges CONTRARY to what host claims. Hotel staff checks on guest status so there's no proper access to pool / gym. Neighborhood is nice and safe, but parking is an issue as one cannot park near entrance (dropoff OK). Hard to find at night. There's about 25 steep steps from the "curb" to ground level so if you have luggage, it's a pain. There's street access on other side, but then you'd have about 60-80 steps to reach street level. The place itself is nice with small kitchen; some parts could be cleaner. Nice patio. Shower water takes 2-5 mins to be hot. Host was generally available by text / app. However, entry directions (code) not provide until last minute.
