My husband and I found Rachel's cozy beach house when looking for a central place to stay in Los Angeles near friends and family. Having grown up in LA, we thought it would be fun to stay in Venice. Rachel's house is tucked away in a very quiet and pleasant neighborhood, and about a 15 minute walk from Abbott Kinney. We loved the location and felt very safe walking through the neighborhood to everything that Abbott Kinney has to offer. The house itself is well maintained and clean, and was a great place to act as a home base. We also had no trouble finding street parking at any time of day.
