Simple, straightforward, but exactly what we needed.
My husband and I stayed at Bidan's place for over two weeks while we apartment hunted. Bidan was a wonderful host who was prompt to respond, had a clean space ready for us, checked in to make sure all was well, and easily amended our trip when we wanted to stay longer.
The place is small and simple. There is not a full kitchen, but for two weeks we were able to have yogurt/fruit/oatmeal for breakfast, sandwiches/salads for lunch, and soup/frozen meals for dinner. All of these items fit in the mini-fridge and could be easily warmed up in the microwave.
We brought utensils and plates as there were none there (aside from coffee mugs), and were able to wash everything in the deep sink in the bathroom.
The room is light and airy, definitely peaceful, and overlooks the awesome garden her parents keep. It is within walking distance to a park, shops, movie theater, grocery store, restaurants, and just south of Pasadena (SUPER easy to get there), and not too far from LA. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. If you have a car with you, it is very centrally located, but even without, you will have no problem walking to food.
We are so grateful to Bidan.
