We might have had a little issue with the laundry machine, but it was attentively fixed even during the holiday season; it was just fantastic service. Thank you for all the excellent hospitality and care for our comfort.

Pasadena Stay

There was some construction going on next door. For the unit we stayed in, pulling out of the garage and into the alley was dangerous. Unable to see if traffic was coming in both directions.

Nice but not as advertised

We enjoyed the condo but it was not as close to old Pasadena as eluded to in the description. Also, one of the faucets in the kitchen was rigged but needed fixing. Deck was dirty and not well kept. The dining room window didn’t work well. The property needed some TLC. The screen to the deck was difficult to open. The neighborhood was nice and we felt safe walking.
