Communication with Derek leading up to our arrival was great and very efficient. Derek met us when we arrived, showed us around the house and very clearly explained how everything worked. We were made to feel very much at home and Derek was exceedingly warm, friendly and welcoming.

The house is located in a very residential area which was fine with us as we had our own car to get around. It's only a short drive to Abbot Kinney road and Venice Beach which I suppose could be within walking distance for those wanting to get a bit of exercise. The house itself is very modern and has all necessary amenities including a comfortable bed, a great shower and a spacious living room and kitchen. The Wifi was not working extremely well and we had a bit of a tough time getting a strong connection. This wasn't a major issue for us as we didn't spend a great deal of time in the house, but others may want to check with Derek to see if the connection could be improved.

Overall, it was a very satisfying stay and Derek was a wonderful host. I would overwhelmingly recommend staying here!
