Dorothy was a terrific host--she made us feel very welcome by providing lots of food in the fridge, and she even left us a bottle of wine for our 5 year anniversary. Even when the AC went out, she made sure that we were accommodated and even invited us to stay at another Airbnb she hosts in her home while the AC was being fixed. I would definitely stay at her house again. Altadena was quite pleasant--quiet, lots of little coffee shops, and fairly close to the city proper. We truly enjoyed our stay.
