My wife and I recently had the chance to stay in Rita’s guest cottage. It was absolutely an enjoyable experience. The private courtyard makes for a great spot to hang out when at the cottage. We chose to use the space every day for breakfast to start our day. It was lovely. The house is in a great location, right on the Venice canals. Rita was an excellent host with great local recommendations and wonderful hospitality. Take my word, if you’re in Venice beach... stay here, you won’t regret it!
