Derek’s place is an awesome humble haven for travelers and transplants alike! For the traveler he offers great rates on rooms and access to kitchen/laundry/etc. For the transplant he offers the same with the added benefit of longer term stays. All rooms have locks and Derek maintains a very chill and safe vibe. Home itself is in a family neighborhood near big box stores/fast food and buses that can get you to the METRO. Location is centralized between beach communities and Los Angeles/Hollywood/DTLA. Parking is easy. Very great value, very chill vibes, and very down-to-earth. Glad we found this room/spot while our home finished up some renovations; would totally stay again!
