Derek was an excellent host and we had an enjoyable stay at his place. The guest house is well equipped with a very functional kitchen, a fabulous shower, a comfortable bedroom, and other small amenities like wi-fi and an impressive number of TV channels. The location was perfect for us (lots of cute cafes to try for breakfast on Abbot Kinney in Venice) and there was always tons of free street parking out front when we returned. We were there in February and were glad we brought some slippers with us since the space and floors can get a bit chilly in the evenings. My only regret is that we didn't have time to take the bikes out for a spin. We would definitely stay with Derek again.
