Zhimin was a wonderful host. He greeted me at check in, helped me with my bags and gave me the keys and the remote to the gate. The room was exactly as pictured. Clean, quiet, great WiFi! the kitchen was right outside of my door and I had space in the cupboard, fridge and freezer to use. The toilet was in the hallway and was always clean, well stocked with toilet paper. Zhimin cleaned daily, always took the trash out and the home has a no shoe zone, which I appreciated. I had a very nice 10 day stay focusing on work. Pasadena was 20 minutes away and pretty much everything is within a short driving distance in terms of post office, stores etc. The house observed quiet hours after 9:30, pretty much everyone retreated to bed. The environment overall was very friendly. Zhimin said hello every day and also gave privacy. I recommend staying here if you want to focus on your own business. I also did a great hike at the Eaton Canyon trail. highly recommend.
