Dena was a friendly and communicative host. I slept well in her quiet, comfy guest room and woke to a lovely breakfast which I am happy to say met my dietary needs. We enjoyed wide-ranging conversations during my short stay. My only confusion had to do with arrival - I didn't realize it's okay to enter through the courtyard by the garage - much easier than walking around to the front door. I recommend checking out the San Dimas Canyon Park during your stay - it's an interesting place to walk and you might like to visit the nature center and wildlife rescue center there. I recommend staying with Dena!
