I spent over 2 months in the Burberry room and I can confidently say Derek provided the best Airbnb service I have ever had.
First, the back house itself is clean, stylish, and looks like a hotel (especially the kitchen and bathrooms).
Second, Derek is a great guy. I got to know Derek over the course of the summer and I can vouch for him 100%. He's funny, personable, and very professional. He takes pride in how clean his rooms and common areas are. He's a genuine human being and I can't emphasis that enough.
Ignore the few bad reviews he got, those people are full of it. My experience with Derek and the room has been incredible.
If I ever need to stay somewhere temporarily in LA, Derek is the first one I'm going to hit up.
