I can't say enough good things about our time we spent at Rachel's lovely house in Venice Beach .We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and Rachel was a very outstanding and accommodating host. I wish we could have spent more time visiting with her and her delightful husband, but we would definitely like to return again! The house was charming, immaculate, well furnished and was perfect for our needs. The kitchen had with every appliance, cookware, and gadget imaginable and was well stocked with all sorts of goodies for our use. The patio was perfect for soaking up the California sun and the large sofa in the living room was great for lounging in front of the big screen TV, catching up on the nightly news or watching a movie. Although the house is in a safe, quiet, picturesque neighborhood, it was a short, pleasant stroll to the lively Venice Beach, the scenic Venice canals and the bustling Abbot Kenney shopping and restaurant district. And after a long day of sightseeing, it was a pleasure to sink into the incredibly comfortable beds back at the house! I was so glad we chose to stay with Rachel and look forward to coming back again soon.
