Inside, the living room features many windows and a wood-burning fireplace, paired with a formal dining room that seats up to eight. A third bedroom doubles as a den/TV room with a 55-inch flat-screen Smart TV and DirectTV, plus a queen-size sofa bed. The home includes heating and air conditioning, is smoke-free, and provides laundry via a washer with the laundry room located off the kitchen.

Guests are welcomed with breakfast items and a stocked starter set (coffee, teas, milk), with free breakfast listed among amenities. Entertainment and connectivity options include free Wi‑Fi, cable/DirectTV, and streaming access (Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu).
Outdoor Space
French doors open to a brick porch and a backyard patio set up for outdoor dining, with a grill for barbecuing. The garden includes fruit trees (including orange, lemon, pomegranate, and avocado) and rose bushes, and fresh oranges may be available when in season. A patio and outdoor seating make the yard a central feature for relaxing or hosting meals outdoors.

Best for
This cottage-style home suits travelers who want the space and functionality of a full house, especially longer-stay guests such as people relocating, house hunting, or living through renovations. It also fits small groups and families who will use the yard, patio grill, full kitchen, and in-home laundry, while staying a short drive from the Rose Bowl and Old Town Pasadena.
Travel tips
If you plan to use public transit, several bus stops are within a 10-minute walk, and the Allen Metro stop (Gold Line) is noted as being less than half a mile away. Drivers have free parking and quick access to the 210 Freeway, which makes it easy to reach Pasadena sights and connect toward Los Angeles via the 110.
