This place is in a great location for Venice and Santa Monica. At night, it has zero or very little noise from the road as you are situated well back from the traffic and the road the apartment is on did not appear well used apart from residents, and the main Santa Monica bus stop is just a block-and-a-half away. The apartment is well laid out in 3 parts - bedroom linked thru to lounge/kitchen which is linked to bathroom. Gabriela is a good host and loves to chat but respects privacy.
I didn't try the swimming pool (weather was too cold) but as you approach the unit from the main house side gate, the path does get a bit narrow at a key point so if you like to hit the bars but are unsteady on your feet, there is a slight possibility of taking an unscheduled dip in the pool!
One other thing: Gabriela's description makes it clear there is no microwave in the apartment. Without thinking this through, I felt the repercussions of this on Day 1 as it made it awkward to reheat leftovers or produce hot milk for coffee for example so I went out & bought a small milkpan as the stove was a good alternative heat source.
