I stayed at Carmen's for about a week. The great features of this Airbnb listing are a locked door, less than a 3 minute walk to the nearest bus stops (these nearby bus stops can easily get you to Pasadena Convention Center), about a 5-10 minute walk to the nearby grocery store and pharmacy and a location that is safe and quiet. I did not get a chance to meet Carmen in person and communicated with her via Airbnb's message system. She responds in quick time and provides thorough directions for check in and check out. Overall, Carmen's place is great for the solo traveler looking for a place to stay for a week.
