Derek was an awesome host and there were no surprises, everything was exactly as described in the listing. We didn't actually meet Derek in person, though, I know he would have been available to meet if we had asked him to. We were in town for a business conference so didn't spend a great deal of time in the space but it was much better than a hotel as it allowed us to cook our own meals, have private bedroom space and just more space in general. We had little to no issue but any questions we did have Derek responded to very quickly via the airbnb messaging. We would for sure consider renting the space again in the future and would recommend it to others.
