We had great two weeks in Derek's house. He is a very helpful, entertaining and pleasant host. The house is quite comfortable, we fell in love with the bathroom. The fridge is a bit too small for people like us who really lived there for a while and cooked a lot. There is no dish washer and limited dishes. Guests who rent the house should be aware that the bed is only 140 cm wide. That might be great for honey mooners but was borderline for my daughter and me. The house is situated in bike distance from the beach and nice shopping areas in Santa Monica can be reached by car in a few minutes. Unfortunately Santa Monica Airport is close and at times it can be quite noisy. Derek has a lovely little dog who loves to play and motivated my daughter again to work at her parents to get a dog.
