This place is great. It's away from the congestion and noise of downtown LA, but easy enough to get there. One thing to keep in mind for public transport is that the busses tend to only come every 20-40 minutes, so you'll need to plan accordingly if trying to get to downtown LA, or be prepared to walk the 0.7 miles to the gold line. These aren't really negatives, just something to be aware of when planning your stay. Overall, this place was clean, cozy, and has everything you need. If you want to explore things a little closer, this is the perfect spot to access everything in Pasadena.
