We chose Gabriela's place for it's central location for visiting several family members in areas surrounding L.A. We didn't spend much time actually at the airbnb, but coming 'home' to a comfy bed and hot shower was so appreciated after the long days. An array of dishes and cookware were provided if you wanted to cook a meal, but we were well-fed by our families! One thing to note is there is a flight of stairs up to the loft bedroom. The neighborhood seemed very safe -- plus a fence with a locked gate around the property provided security. Hopefully, we'll find Gabriela's place available for all future trips!
