My one-week stay at Gabriela's lovely guest house was as relaxing and nice as I had hoped for. The house is everything you can want from a small guest house, it's clean and decorated in lovely light colours. I mostly went out for dinner so I didn't use the kitchen for cooking, but everything you will need is there. Gabriela was always available whenever I had a question or needed something (like a light bulb going out in the bathroom in the evening, which was fixed in a matter of minutes). The garden with the pool is wonderful and perfect on a hot California day. I didn't have a car on this trip so I walked to the beach (about a 20-30 min walk through lovely Venice neighbourhoods) or to the close-by supermarket (approx. 10 mins), which isn't a problem in this very safe neighbourhood.

Staying at Gabriela's was a perfect start to my 3-week vacation and I can only recommend staying here.
