I had a great time at Derek's place.

Derek welcomed me through email and phone very quickly after i had booked. I experienced him as professional and personable. He made it clear that he was always available to offer information on the area, which he did both in person and via telephone/email while working.

His description of the property was completely accurate. He has a great property that is charming, as well as being clean, comfortable, and relaxing with good quality furnishings in excellent condition.
One of the standout features of this property is the private porch/deck where one can relax, listen and watch the wildlife against the backdrop of the mountains. The wifi is very fast.

The neighborhood is very peaceful, far from the traffic noise of Topanga Canyon Blvd (an important consideration for anyone considering a place in the area). I got a positive "neighborly vibe" from the locals i met while biking along the little windy roads around the property.

Overall, i found this to be an excellent choice, and definitely worthy of another visit.
