For the past 8 years, my husband and myself have spent our Christmas holidays in the Southern/ Northern California region. It is our custom to stay in hotels. But due to the uncertainty of travel time, availability of rooms was limited during our last trip. We had heard of AirBnb from friends, and we thought we would give it a try. Consequently, Derek`s space is our very first experience at an AirBnB. Overall, it was as advertised. It was clean, conveniently located, and Derek and "Ollie" were amicable hosts. Derek was very responsive and answered queries very promptly. Many thanks.
