Dean was a welcoming and very friendly host. He met us on arrival and showed us round the property. His recommendations for local food places (and 4 July fireworks vantage points) was spot on. The house is beautiful and very homely. From the front garden with goldfish, through the book packed lounge, well equipped kitchen to the back deck, a great spot for eating meals and chilling with a glass of wine. Dean even provided a few beers in the fridge and a pack of caramels from a local bakery which was a nice touch.
The hot tub was great to unwind at the end of the day. The house is also in a quiet and safe neighbourhood and a short drive to downtown Pasadena. We would highly recommend a stay.
