We really had a wonderful time at Derek’s place. The guest house is perfect for a couple- my fiancé and I stayed there for three days and really enjoyed it. We arrived late in the evening but check in was seamless. The bed is very comfortable and the House has everything you need. The house is next to a beautiful garden with a Koi pond. Location wise, while it was quiet at night it was very close to Abbot Kinney and other main locations. Derek, who was very hospitable, also had a map which gave us an awesome walking tour of Venice. We would love to come back again!
