Joannes place was just what we needed for our few days in the area. we liked having a designated off street parking space, lots of outdoor lighting and security cameras as we had some late nights. the bathroom was big and spacious, the shower head was leaking and had low pressure however and I noticed an earlier review mentioning this and was still the case. however we had a quiet comfortable stay and great place close to Pasadena, rose bowl, and downtown Monrovia was a cute place to check out with a sweet coffee shop Grey & Cash. joanne was responsive and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed!
