My teenage son, husband, and I spent five days at this property at the end of July. Gabriela was fantastic to work with, and the property was just as described. She greeted us at check-in and even had a welcome basket with snacks waiting for us. It was a perfect location for everything we wanted to do (e.g. Warner Bros studio tour, Santa Monica pier) with everything just a short drive away. There is only street parking for the rental, but we never had any trouble finding a spot. There were also several great restaurants nearby that we were able to walk to, which was really nice. I felt very safe in the neighborhood, and we enjoyed sitting out in the backyard in the evenings. I would absolutely stay in this rental again when we come back to the area.

we felt very comfortable in this great apartment. Gabriela is a very friendly and warm hostess who is always there for you when you needed. the apartment is very nice and comfortably. almost nothing is missing except kettle but that´s a small detail. in the end we would come back anytime on our next visit to LA. once again many thanks and greetings to Gabriela and all the best from Britta and Winfried

I absolutely loved this place it was the perfect size for me and my daughter.

This place, for us, was PERFECT!! Gabriela 'got' us before we even arrived. She is so solid, very cool, delightful, thoughtful, and just present enough. I would stay with her anywhere in the world. The pool house was ideal for us - I was traveling with my 13yo daughter and her 13yo friend. They had their sleeping/private space, I had a place to sleep. Ideal environment, they cooked for me, I choked it down, they swam as often as possible, we ALL loved having the beach bikes to cover the local area, from Marina Del Rey all the way through Santa Monica - so easy and almost flat, generally. It was right off a main commercial corridor, and there was a highly recommended bakery/breakfast place just around the corner, a Ralph's a couple short blocks walk away, a convenience store and all sorts of funky options on foot, close at hand. There are several car rental places less than 10 minutes walk away - this place is PERFECT! Trust Gabriela, trust me ...

Gabriela was a great hostess! Very helpful and always available if we had any requests! The accommodation was enough for our requirements as we were out everyday exploring! The accommodation was clean and had the facilities we required! If you are after something quirky with good access to beaches and Hollywood this would be ideal. A car would be preferential at this location. We have a lovely week!

Loved our stay at this gem. Gabriela is thoughtful, generous, friendly, and so inviting. Lovely little pool house close to popular neighbourhood restaurants and the Abbot Kinney strip. Coffee shops, beach, walkable neighborhoods, Michelin starred restaurants, and bikes to head out and explore. Affordable nightly rate on top of it all and a deep pool. Only hesitation in posting another rave review is that Gabriela’s place will continue to be booked up forever and I already want to go back!!!

We had a great stay at the property. The location is perfect, in Venice, right between Santa Monica and Playa Vista. The cottage is tucked in behind the main house, which feels very safe and comfortable. The host, Gabriela is super friendly and helpful. Will love to stay here again the next time we are in L.A.

Super cool place with awesome accomodations! Absolutely no complaints, host communication was great, location was fantastic for what we needed, and property was clean and very well appointed! Looking forward to visiting again!

Throughout our two-week stay Gabriela was fun to talk to and immediately attentive to any problems. You couldn't ask for a better hostess or neighbor. It's a cozy arrangement with her house in the frontyard and her rental cottage in the backyard with the pool in between, but it works just fine. The neighborhood is very safe, and it's a short drive to the beach, the canals and most of the sights. And you'll like Gabriela!

Gabriela was great and very accommodating. Place was great, fantastic location and perfect for a getaway !

If you’re expecting new and fancy, keep looking. If you’re up for clean and quirky, look no farther! Our host couldn’t have been nicer and everything was ready for us on arrival, even a nice welcome basket and some refreshments. This is an artsy area and the home didn’t disappoint. What was once a 1 car garage has been lovingly made into a backyard oasis. Behind 3 gates you’ll feel safe and secluded. My only complaint would be that the unit itself doesn’t secure very well, but honestly, there was more to steal from our host than us. We never felt unsafe in or around the home or the neighborhood. It was an easy walk to Abbot Kinney and the canals. We walked to the beach and boardwalk from there, but chose Uber for a ride home. Plenty of restaurants within a few blocks. No air conditioning scared me a bit (coming from Florida), but we slept with the sliding door and windows open and it was perfect! No Florida humidity! The pool was a welcoming treat after a day of touring around LA. Would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I were visiting LA and wanted to be in a spot that would be easy to visit beaches, our friends in Santa Monica, and good food. This location delivered on all the the above! Gabriela was helpful, explicit, and incredibly kind. Our space was cozy and had the perfect outdoor seating area for morning coffee and a book! We would definitely stay here again if the chance presents itself!

Lovely property! I was so comfortable there. Very homey and relaxed. Gorgeous setting. Host is very friendly and respects privacy. Every tiny detail was taken care of, thoughtful in preparing the property for the renter. I would definitely stay here again. Super happy customer.

My daughter and I loved the peace and quiet- wish it had been warmer So we could have used the beautiful patio garden area. Never met hostess but she was always available via text and email

I enjoyed staying here very much. The host was amazing. Very kind, considerate and always willing to help us out. Got us a night light the night after we checked in and helped us with the laundry. Would stay here again.

Very nice accommodations.

We had the best time in Venice. Gabriela was super kind and there for all of our needs. Location was great! We hope to be back again!

The cottage was cozy, comfortable and precious. Gabriela was accommodating, gracias and pleasant to talk to. We enjoyed our stay. We walked to the beach everyday and enjoyed the sights of Venice and Santa Monica.

The property was fine clean and tidy very secure and I felt completely at home I can imagine jumping in the pool after a day at the beach there was also a lovely little covered area when you could have dinner in peace under the evening sun Loads of car parking in fact there was a new property just finished opposite— 3.3 million dollars tells you what a great area the property is !!! I stayed for a month I’m hoping I can come back next year

We loved our stay in Venice at Gabriela's place. It was quite, private, clean, and lovely. Gabriela was not in town but she ALWAYS responded to emails.

Gabriela is a wonderful hostess—anxious to please her guests. The pool house is in a quiet, but good location. Superba Restaurant around the corner is a must! Gabriela has stocked the little kitchen with supplies that are necessary to get your stay started—which is very appreciated. The grounds are lovely. Next time visit will be when it is warmer, and we can use the pool.

Everything we needed and wanted. Gabriela could not have been more helpful

This could not have been a better stay, everything was as described. The apartment itself was very clean, cozy and very handsome, everything you need and the hostess offers anything you need. Unfortunately the pool isn't heated, so we couldn't use it during our stay in March. However, the bottom line is: Highly recommend this property.

We returned for the second time to Gabriela`s house and it was the same wonderful experience as the first one. The Poolhouse is very very quiet (best sleep we`ve had in a long time), all is lovely decaretd and perfectly equipped. (thanks again for the lovely welcome basket (-: ...). The location makes you feel like a local; everything is close by; the bikes are absolutely amazing and a big plus !! (we used them for bike rides along the beaches, to Abbot Kinney, shopping etc...). Gabriela is absolutely amazing, wonderful and warm-hearted; always there when you need something..., she makes you feel like home..... we still miss the wonderful evenings sitting together, eating & talking ....we feel a little bit homesick right now. as mentioned we will definitely come back to your place......can`t wait to be back :-) We would highly recommend this place to all other travelers, especially to those seeking the real Venice feeling and spirit !! As said we`ve had a wonderful time !!! Thanks again Gabriela for the great time..... see ya as promised !! Stephan & Silke

Before arriving, Gabriela provided us with all information we needed to park our car and get into the nice and clean guesthouse. It was exactly as described, very privately hidden at the end of the garden close to the swimming pool. We found everything as shown on the pictures and described, so that we felt immediately at home with the great and pleasant color scheme (our favored colors) used throughout the guesthouse. After a warm welcome Gabriela gave us more information about the house, the environment as well as some ideas for doing the groceries or eat out. The location is very convenient to walk to Abbot Kinney or even to the beach. With the nice setting in the garden we enjoyed every evening using the BBQ rather than going to one of the nice restaurants around the corner. We really enjoyed staying there and being guests of Gabriela. This would be the address to return to in case we’ll be back to Venice.
