Derek is a very warm and helpful host. He is well and truly the best my wife and I encountered with AirBnB. He is genuinely interested to make every your stay the best it can be. But that alone is not enough. What makes the whole experience worthwhile is that His place is extremely wonderful in all respects. It is spacious, comfortable, stylish very well located to everything you want to do in Venice and Santa Monica Towns and beaches.
We have had good experiences (and some not so good) with AirBnB in US and Canada. For a while we opted out of using AirBnB because we got fed up with people who offered barely the minimum they can get away with, with no effort to make the experience worthwhile. We tried Derek’s place because the reviews seem to indicate something special. Rest assured, We were not disappointed. We will be going back every to his place a couple of times per year
