This review is 100% transparent, and I wholeheartedly recommend her offering to you. Read the full thing for an accurate picture - I stayed at Didi's for 4 months while on an internship to a Corporation down the road.
Didi is incredible. Her friend and cleaning helper Katherine are absolutely amazing, and her house is one of the most affordable, well placed, and safe locations in Southwest LA. Astoundingly down to earth and immensely hospitable, Didi and Katherine go the extra mile every single day, especially in the case of extended stays. While it may not be a very high bar to beat, Didi is far and away one of the nicest women I've met in LA, if not in the state of California.
Happy to drive you places if she's free, or offer you a bit of food on occasion (compliments to amateur Chef Katherine), Didi can come off marginally overworked or frazzled if caught off guard in those rare moments. Don't let this fool you though, because her genuine attention and infectious glowing personality will perk you from the deepest of moods, if her playful puppy and charismatic cat don't beat her to it. Nothing beats her words of pragmatic wisdom, or her ability to reinvigorate you with a kick of optimistic reality.
Every room in the house is equipped with an Apple TV Box, Google Assistant enabled smart speaker, and/or contains a Smart TV. WiFi hits 230mbps down by the router, and 2 rooms offer wired Ethernet as well. She has a cat and a dog, which both do shed profusely. They vacuum daily and neither of her pets enter rooms, but if this bothers you then it may not be the place for you.
Furthermore, Didi can come across as a bit if a hoarder. Though neat and organized, there's a good deal of things in a house for such a square footage, so keep that in mind (though private areas are impeccable to the n'th degree). Before booking, I'd inquire details on which of the rooms in her house are actually free (because it's likely this room encompasses multiple locations of her cozy flat).
Overall though, I'm not sure what kind of half decent person wouldn't get along spectacularly with Didi. She values communication, which is refreshing to see these days, and, as I mentioned, will go above and beyond to please you during your entire stay.
Thanks for reading,
hope it helped.
