Place is mostly as advertised. Has all the basics that you need for a quick trip to Pasadena. Very clean, checking in was easy, communication with the host was fine. Unit has good WiFi and a nice TV. The bed was just okay. Location is close to coffee shops and restaurants, and is only a quick drive away from downtown Pasadena.
Couple things of note... the back yard isn't directly connected, which isn't clear in the photos, you kinda have to walk around to get to the back yard. The neighborhood is just okay, not the best vibes, some of the neighbors aren't very friendly just FYI. There are two Airbnb units squeezed next to each other so just be aware you might have close neighbors.
Overall, I think the place is great as a jump off point while you explore the area on your trip.
