Summary: This property is immaculate, renting for the second time. So many reviews make reference to the responsiveness of the owner, but we have never had such excellent responsiveness and consideration as from Derek. Recommend this property without any reservation. Best possible location, walking to wonderful restaurants every night.

Summary: Quirky fun row house right in town. Nice furniture, comfortable beds, modern bathrooms. Garage parking is kid of tricky but very helpful as street is time-limited. Kitchen is modern unit a bit thin on utensils. Very comfortable. Note that bedrooms are up some windy stairs so not appropriate for mobility limited folks. Street noise in the front bedroom was annoying on weekend (it’s a college town) but fine otherwise.

Summary: My wife and I were so fortunate to find Derek’s perfect rental home in downtown West Chester. We were coming back for my 40th HS reunion at Teca and we wanted to find a spot that would allow us to walk into town. The home was perfectly located, very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Derek provided detailed instructions and great local recommendations.
