Gabriel’s place was great for our family! Such a great location right beside the Promenade. I broke my ankle 2 weeks before my trip, had a walking boot and everything we wanted to see was within walking distance even for me. Parking can be scarce but Gabriel sends suggestions that are helpful. Remember to check all signage where you park for hours, street sweeping hours , etc. There’s a great parking garage Gabriel suggested that was close that we used that so we didn’t worry about meters or moving the car. The central location makes any hassle of parking well worth it. Gabriel’s place fit the 4 of us comfortably for our stay. He had the essentials and the place was very clean. Highly recommend especially if you want a location close enough to walk to everything in downtown Santa Monica. Gabriel was very responsive to any questions we had. Great host.
