The room was comfortable, and it was a quiet and nice neighborhood (I would go running in the mornings 3-4 times a week and I always felt safe.) The location was also great: I was only about a mile from work, and there were some great eateries on Hawthorne Blvd. that I frequented often. The fact that there was a friendly dog (and now a cat!) were also great bonuses.
The only real "issues" I had were occasionally, someone would be sleeping in the back room and I would not always have access to the kitchen. The mini-fridge was also a little small. Other than that, Didi and her family were incredibly friendly and kind, and I had a great stay.
