This self-contained, one-level, one-bedroom poolside apartment is located behind our home near the Lincoln-Venice intersection, in a walkable neighborhood with nearby shops and cafes. Light, quiet, and breezy with windows on all sides, it includes WiFi and utilities and is perfect for a single person or a couple. The space features two newly renovated bathrooms, bamboo floors (with bedroom carpet), a separate side entrance, and off-street parking for a small car.
It's a two-minute walk to buses to Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Culver City (and the light rail network), Westwood, LAX and downtown.
Outside your kitchen window is a productive passion fruit vine. Out front are blackberries, figs and olive trees. All are producing right now and you can share in the harvest!.
We're an almost-retired couple. One of us founded and headed a local environmental organization for 50 years. The other teaches a circle-based practice in schools and prisons.
We built the apartment behind our house for our parents, who lived there for twelve years. We try to keep our carbon footprint small. We mostly cook at home, recycle or reuse everything, grow vegetables, compost green waste, use a laundry line, and heat our pool with passive solar. We enjoy sharing this gorgeous location for mid-term stays.
We're landlords on Furnished Finder and members of Home Exchange and have five star reviews as hosts on both sites and as guests on HE. We maintain a policy of friendly privacy with occasional opportunities to meet over a coffee or glass of wine.
Owner
We require a $500 refundable security deposit and the signing of a short term lease.
On-site are a 35 year old leopard tortoise and a 10 year old poodle mix. A mellow dog up to 15 lbs that gets along with ours and leaves the tortoise alone is welcome. Let's have them meet! Any damage caused by, or extra cleaning needed because of a pet will be deducted from the security deposit.
