My husband and I had a fantastic stay in Gabriela's guesthouse. Gabriela was very responsive before and during our stay, and was super-helpful to us when some other arrangements fell through and we were lucky enough that her place was available for a couple of extra days and we were able to extend our stay. Gabriela is warm and friendly, and the guesthouse is just as described. The bed was very comfortable, lots of closet storage space, the kitchen had all the basics you need, and the outdoor dining area was really lovely (and the landscaping makes it feels very private). It was not quite hot enough to use the pool in February, but it looked like it would be great for a dip in hotter months. We were grateful for use of both the grill and the cruiser bikes, which we took full advantage of during our escape from east coast winter. The neighborhood is wonderful, with grocery stores, some great restaurants (Superba, Gjelina), the beach, and shopping on Abbot-Kinney all within easy walking/biking distance. We had a car, but didn't always use it because it was so nice to wander or to bike! There is, however, ample street parking if you do have a car. Absolutely wonderful stay, and we'd definitely come back next time we're in LA!
