Stayed two nights at Gabriella's place and enjoyed it immensely. Her place is beautifully decorated and there are very thoughtful items provided such as plenty of electrical sockets for both US and international plugs, cups, glassware, and eating utensils and even yoga mats. Gabriella greeted us when we checked in. Her place is quiet but conveniently located (less than 15 min walk from the beach and about a 10 min walk from Main St that has a bunch of restaurants). I definitely recommend staying when visiting Santa Monica or Venice Beach.
