One room guest unit, with kitchen*. Separate entrance, detached from our house. 6 doors from the beach, 1 block from the Venice pier. The studio is very small, efficient, usually quiet & comfortable for 1 or 2. Shower is tight. Queen 14" microfoam mattress. There is NO parking space, and parking can be hard to find. We are very careful about COVID 19 & disinfect to Airbnb pandemic standards. No smoking or vaping on the property, indoors or out. The space 1 room guest studio with kitchen & small private outdoor storage just 6 doors from the beach & Venice Fishing Pier. The place is small (220 sq ft inside, 100 sq ft outside) but very efficient, usually quiet & comfortable for two (there is one bed). Please note the size; the images & floor-plan show it exactly, which is small by American standards. The shower was built over 50 years ago and is tight if you are large in any dimension. Can accommodate 6’ or so person according to my 6'2" nephew. Please don't book and then review the place negatively as "small"; that is a feature and not a bug for most of my guests. Shops, neighborhood grocery stores, local farmer's markets, restaurants & Venice's historic canals are all in easy walking distance. Venice has different 'zones' from 'crazy noisy' near Windward Ave. to 'fairly mellow' near the fishing pier. We are located in the fairly mellow zone, but just 1/2 block from Ocean Front Walk which, in summer, is door to door entertainment (you can look up Venice Beach Oceanfront on the great_public_spaces website). The rest of the year OFW makes for a great long walk with a parallel bike path. Bike rentals are nearby. THIS IS NOT A PARTY PLACE, nor is it a roomy place to gather with friends. It is part of our home, where our friends and family stay. Please respect that. THERE IS NO PARKING SPACE. You need to find parking on the street. That is always doable, but can be a bit of a walk weekends/holidays/peak travel. As a person who has parked in Taormina, Cinque Terre, NY and Nice, it's not that bad here. NO INFANTS or small children as extras. They count as guests. Please don't ask. The hallmark of my hosting style is the offer of privacy. I am easy to reach and available if you need anything but, as travelers, my husband & I value privacy so that is what I try to provide. We keep the apartment open to rent & for home exchanges when we travel, as well as visits from family & friends. It is efficiently outfitted with everything we could think of from our experiences as travelers and home-exchangers. As guests have inquired or requested, we have added amenities. The kitchen includes a European sized fridge (10 cubic ft) with freezer, an oven w/a 3 burner cooktop, an electric kettle, toaster, coffee bean grinder, single-cup drip cones, a french press, a microwave as well as all kinds of cookware & utensils. There is a 32" 4K Smart TV. Our cable provider is Spectrum. There are On Demand services and a DVR if you want to record live TV. I have a Netflix account set up for Airbnb users, but you can log in to your own account if you prefer. We provide a blow dryer, an iron & ironing board. We have various travel books & magazines listing local activities inside the apartment. There are fresh sheets, extra pillows, wash cloths, bath & hand towels, as well as beach towels, large and small boogie boards (1 ea.), a beach umbrella & beach chairs. Pets pass through the property, but the apartment has always been pet-free. No smoking or vaping inside, near our windows or doors, or in the courtyard. It's too close to our home, and I have a superb sense of smell. No pets allowed. Again, please note that there is NO parking space with the apartment. Street parking only. You can always find parking, but how nearby is variable depending on the time of year and day of the week. Venice is THE public beach for one of the largest cities in the world, so on beautiful weekends and summer beach days parking nearby can be challenging. Buses run frequently on nearby Pacific Avenue and Washington Blvd. to various locations in Los Angeles. We recommend using scooters, Uber and Lyft. Please send a profile, request or questions through the "Contact Me" link before actually booking. I'll respond quickly and, if you've decided, click the "Book It" button. Thank you for looking! Guest access Guests have full, private access to the studio and the immediate area outside the door, where the beach chairs and boogie boards are stored. You can sometimes use our patio and table to eat outside but I don't maintain it or offer it as part of the rental. It is not private, and we sometimes need to use it as a way-station and for staging. Other things to note Please check my online guidebook, which I add to or modify from time to time. I'm really picky about where I would recommend eating but there are plenty local eateries I don't list, with options that may be fine with you. Registration Details HSR25-002342
