We loved Gabriel's place -- it's comfortable, clean, yet feels lived in rather than a sterile apartment set up just for renting. It's very practical for kids -- there are toys, books, room to play, and all the gear you need (changing table, high chair, playpen, etc).
The only slight negative is the cat -- we didn't realize it would be there until we read the detailed house instructions just before arrival, and with a baby, we needed to be very careful not to leave doors unlocked or otherwise let her be unsupervised. In addition, it randomly decided to scratch at my wife while she was in the kitchen. Maybe it wanted to play or hoping for food, but it's not ideal behavior...
