Rachel's place is in a great location, quiet neighbourhood that's not too far from the beach, canals or Abbott Kinney. Having access to bicycles was a great asset, made it really easy to get around. In the end, we stayed in the main house instead of the annex, but this was clean and homely. There is a great wine bar/pizzeria about a 5 minute walk away called South End, great food and drink with great service to match.
We would happily stay here again if we came to Venice.
