Derek was a lot of help up to the day of our trip with all types of logistics and was very accommodating for our big group of 12 people. The location of the place was really convenient since it was so close to the beach and central to the block parties, groceries, restaurants, etc. Temperature of the place was kept pretty comfortable even though it was hot outside. I would just suggest confirming if Derek will be staying in his room on the same floor during your trip. He did stay there for our trip and it was not an issue since the room was on the other side of the place but just helpful to know ahead of time.
