This furnished apartment was a great find less than 15 minutes to downtown Pasadena. It's also located within a quiet neighborhood walking distance to Victory Park, Pasadena farmer's market, churches, restaurants (Mint Leaf Indian Cuisine! etc.); I rarely saw my neighbors within the four unit apartment building, but when I did, interactions were pleasant. Celina, the owner, was always friendly and quick to respond to any concern/issue I had during my stay, which were thankfully minor in nature. The cable, internet and washer/dryer were always in working order. It was convenient to have a designated off street parking spot, especially since overnight street parking in Pasadena requires a permit.
My stay was did extend into the heat of summer, so I will say it was a bit difficult at times to adequately cool this upstairs apartment with triple digit temperatures using the two AC window units- one in the dining room and one in the bedroom, especially while at home during the day. However, at night, the air cooled and often having the windows open and using standing fans provided decent cross-ventilation.
If I return to the Pasadena area, I would definitely consider staying at the Whitefield Apartments again. Thanks Celina!
