I've just spent a fab 6 nights in Rachel's condo. Rachel is an exceptionally welcoming host who made the stay a joy. She struck the perfect balance of hosting and privacy. The whole set up is so well thought through. The bed is so comfy and the kitchen is perfect for knocking up breakfast or simple meals and all equipment works well. It's even stocked with a certain amount of food and condiments that Rachel encouraged me to use free of charge and she very kindly left fresh milk and chocolates for my arrival!! The location is perfect, 15 mins from LAX, a mile from Venice pier and all the great bars and restaurants there plus a five minute walk from the incredible Abbott Kinney where your waistline and credit card will both take some punishment! The bikes were useful for getting around as I didn't have a car and they are well maintained and have locks. All in all I had an incredible stay and would highly recommend it.
