Liza's home is a comfortable, cozy oasis in leafy Pasadena. The street is quiet, walkable and close to the Rose Bowl, the Gamble House (Doc Brown's Mansion from "Back to the Future") and Old Town.
The room I rented is downstairs and has total privacy with a bathroom and a short hallway leading to the kitchen, with doors at each end. I had use of the kitchen, laundry, spacious backyard and a living area with TV, which were all clean and quiet.
The host, Liza, and her husband Stephen were both friendly, hospitable and fun to talk to. Their love of music and British culture is clear in the room and other parts of the house, with plenty of books and artwork to enjoy as well.
This is a relaxing, warm and fun place to stay in a beautiful neighborhood of LA, close to freeways, museums and art galleries, shops, restaurants and nightlife, or parks and trails for hiking. Old Town Pasadena is a joy to walk around and sight-see, hang out or work in a cafe, or dine in a great restaurant of your choice. My room had a single bed, storage and a full bathroom next door, just for me. I'd happily stay there again.
