This self-contained, one-level, one-bedroom 1.5 bathroom poolside apartment sits behind our home near the Lincoln-Venice intersection, in a tree-lined upscale residential neighborhood with restaurants and cafes around the corner. With a locked private entrance, and windows on all sides, it's perfect for digital nomads - a single person or a couple. It features two generous desk spaces and two newly renovated bathrooms, along with bamboo floors (carpet in the bedroom), a dishwasher, access to the laundry, free WiFi and utilities, and off-street parking for a small car.
Walk two minutes for buses to Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Culver City (and the light rail network), Westwood, LAX and downtown. Using electric bikes or scooters or your feet, you can be at the beach in no time.
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 taught a circle-based practice in schools and prisons and now teaches online.
We built this apartment for our parents, who lived here for twelve years. We try to keep our carbon footprint small by mostly cooking at home, recycling or reusing everything, growing vegetables, composting green waste, using a laundry line, and heating our pool with passive solar. We enjoy sharing this chill retreat for mid-term stays, and maintain a policy of friendly privacy with occasional opportunities to meet over a coffee or glass of wine.
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.

Please provide some personal background and the reason for your visit.
We require the signing of a short term lease, a $250 refundable securing and security deposit upon signing ($1000 for month-long leases) and a $150 cleaning fee, which is refundable if the place is left as it was found.
Rental fees are as follows: Monthly ($3,750) or weekly ($1,000) with each extra night at $150. Minimum stay one week.
Where possible, we prefer your pet to have a meet -and-greet with our good-natured poodle chihuahua mix. Well-behaved dogs of up to 15lbs are welcome. We ask that you clean up promptly after your pet. While there is no pet fee, a portion of the security deposit, as well as the entire cleaning fee will be used to repair damage or provide cleaning if necessary.
