Derek's place is a pleasant retreat. I wasn't there during the day as I was working nearby but it was great to come back to a comfortable, clean and ample living area to unwind; knowing the next morning you'd treat yourself to a nice cup of espresso (courtesy of Derek's Nespresso) on the big back deck.
It's a very nice and quiet neighborhood off Topanga Canyon which suited me and my co-worker's needs perfectly. Derek provides great suggestions and directions with prompt response. Awesome host, amazing place, nothing short of a perfect stay. Two thumbs up!
