Rachel was wonderful. We didn't have many issues with the house and the only request we had was taken care of quickly.

We loved the house and neighborhood. The large master bedroom is in the back so it is pretty quiet. The 2nd bedroom is in the front and very roomy and sweet. The living room/dining area has plenty of room and well set up. The kitchen is smaller but is well appointed with appliances. We did find the dishwasher wasn't very efficient so dishes had to be rewashed. As we didn't eat at the house all the time, this wasn't much of an issue.

The patio is landscaped, comfy and well shielded by a painted block wall from the street for privacy. I liked the lounge and having an outdoor table. Being able to spend a lot of time outdoors was really nice after an especially frigid winter from where we come from!

The walk to Venice Beach is about 30 minutes and Abbott Kinney is pretty close. The neighborhood is quiet and nicely landscaped.

We had a great time at Rachel's house and are very grateful for her generosity!
