Steve and Sara's place was great. It was self contained, with an ensuite, air con, fridge/freezer and coffee machine in the bedroom, and right next to the front door so you didnt need to worry about waking the house up if you were to get in late. Steve and Sara have 2 great dogs which will come and play or give you cuddles if you want (its just as easy not to have them anywhere near you as well, just shut the door!) The bed was comfy and the room cosy but bright with windows on 2 sides of the room. Its really close to the metro gold line, just a few minutes walk, which will take you to Pasadena or union station/downtown LA really quickly. It was a great place to take a few days to relax during our busy travels.
