We entered the property with no issues at all. Remember this is a STUDIO guesthouse, so leave the kids at home. There are plenty of restaurants in Pasadena and this location works well for getting back and forth. You can take the streets or hop on the freeway. The freeway is just a few minutes away. There is a small fridge for your leftovers or your frozen breakfast bites that you pick up from the nearby grocery store. If you're planning to spend most of your time hanging out in L.A., Pasadena, or the surrounding communities, then this is perfect for having a place to sleep. It is not designed to invite friends over for a cocktail. It's a studio that can easily accommodate two people. By the way, it's a very quiet neighborhood.
