Need to find a place central to family and events planned for our week long stay in So Cal. Upon searching AirBnB, this was the first to pop up. I immediately fell in love with this quaint and charming home with clean modern finishes inside. Located in a quiet neighborhood in South Pasadena, walking distance to Trader Joe’s in such a quiet neighborhood. I found local restaurants (I used to frequent like Shiro) and a nail salon minutes away. The house so neat and organized. I felt right at home the moment we walked in. There was a starter kit of snacks and drinks and in house coffee maker. Loved that we could make breakfast and do our laundry before heading out for the day. Wendy stocked the house with supplies. There was nothing I needed. She replies quickly, informed us about any garbage pick up days, gardeners arriving and pool cleaning days. I had the best night sleep in the comfortable (dare I say Tempur pedi bed that molded to my body). Relaxing. Spacious. Highly rec

Firstly, the house, the location, the ambiance of the neighborhood all were amazing as correctly described in all the reviews. Wendy was an exceptional communicator, responding within minutes to my questions. We loved exploring South Pasadena and visiting local shops and restaurants. Shout out to Mike and Ann’s! There are lots of beautiful parks to explore nearby which we thoroughly enjoyed. Old Town Pasadena is minutes away and offers all you would expect of a great downtown. We had such a good visit we have already rebooked Wendy’s home for several weeks this summer!!

We loved everything about the house, so comfortable and pretty, well appointed and in a lovely, quiet neighborhood that was only 2 miles from Old Pasadena. The yard and patio are also great, and the beds comfortable…and the kitchen was terrific for us who like to cook. We’ll stay here whenever we come back to Pasadena!

Wendy’s place was perfect for my parents. The neighborhood was walkable (Trader Joes right down the street is perfect:) quiet, peaceful and safe. The house had tons of room, kids books and games and we felt right at home. Can’t wait to come back!

Wendy’s property truly felt like a home away from home. The house is beautifully decorated and very clean. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare a meal, including top-notch appliances. The neighborhood is safe and very quiet, and it’s conveniently located near shopping(including Trader Joe’s) and restaurants. Wendy was a wonderful host, very responsive and thoughtful. She even texted us one evening to let us know about a local farmers market. We hope to stay there again on our next trip to Pasadena.

Wonderful stay at this comfortable and conveniently located house in a lovely neighborhood. Walkable to Trader Joe's and Mission Street. It was very clean and kitchen was very well equipped -- stocked with snacks, coffee, etc. Beds and bedding high quality, towels too. Wendy responded quickly to a minor issue we had and resolved it in a most friendly way. We hope to stay there again.
