Karilyn's Rose Bowl room was the perfect place to stay to attend all the Rose Bowl activities because everything was walkable. I was able to walk to the parade as well as the Rose Bowl game itself. And if you have ever seen the traffic on New Years Day (or the 2nd this year since the 1st was on a Sunday) in Pasadena, you will understand why that is such a big deal!
Karilyn was a great AirBnb host. She was always available by text or phone but never intrusive. She was very gracious in suggesting other activities during my stay.
Neighborhood was very nice and seemed quite safe.
