Our stay at Derek's place was very nice. And Derek was extremely accomodating with timing, which we appreciated. The one and only reservation I had was that it turns out the street we were on has a lot of loud, ongoing street performances. It wasn't a huge problem since we mostly were gone during the day but just a heads up to anyone who might be wanting to book in a quieter space.

This is a very special property. It's right in the heart of the action and you can reach pretty much everywhere from it. I stayed with 2 friends and we absolutely loved it and had a fantastic time. Well equipped (though we mainly ate out) and very comfortable - beds were great and it was immaculately clean. Another plus is how close it is to Waverley Station. The views from the property make it very atmospheric and magical.
