The place is quiet and clean, in a nice neighborhood about a 40 minute walk to Old Town Pasadena, with a bus stop and metro bike station a couple of blocks away. There's nothing thrilling here, but it's a good value and the host was mostly responsive and quick to reply. Bed was comfortable, everything worked. Didn't get 5 stars because apparently the toilet/plumbing cannot handle paper; so no flushing toilet paper, it goes in the trash. If you can get over that though, it is a decent place to stay.
