I stayed here for about 10 weeks, and it was absolutely fantastic. Angela and her family are extremely warm and welcoming, and were even kind enough to let me join them for their holiday celebrations! They were always there to talk to, and if I had any problems, Angela was always accessible.

The room is perfect for a single person; it comes with a desk, a bed, a drawer, a closet, a mini-drawer, and another small table. The bathroom is right across the hall and again is perfect for one person and is kept clean.

Perhaps the one minor thing to be aware of is that there is no microwave, but that was never quite a problem for me as Angela was very helpful in letting me use plates/pots/pans and whatever else I needed.

The neighborhood is also very quiet. If you need to get into Pasadena, it is about a ten minute drive. I usually took the 267 or 260 bus (2 short blocks away) which run infrequently but will get you into Pasadena in about 15-30 minutes. There, you can find all your major stores like Trader Joe's, CVS, etc. There is also a supermarket about a 5 minute walk away from the house that I went to if I needed anything in a pinch.

I would definitely stay here again! The neighborhood might be a little inconvenient if you are traveling to Pasadena and don't have a car, but Angela is extremely welcoming and her kindness made the stay worth it!
