A bright 1-bedroom apartment, located one block from Santa Monica beach in Los Angeles, California.
The Space
The apartment is furnished in modern west-coast style, with hardwood floors and 12-foot ceilings. It is a fairly small 1-bedroom, but the space is uncluttered and tranquil--even Zen--and it is filled with natural light. There is a full kitchen equipped with professional-grade cookware, full bath that is pleasant for both showers and baths, queen-size bed on a platform of authentic Japanese tatami, flat-screen TV in the living room, and a work desk with an ergonomic office chair.
Guest Access
Two elevators are available in the building.

Neighbourhood
Located in the vibrant Santa Monica / Venice Beach area of Los Angeles, the apartment is within a 5-minute walk from the beach, restaurants and shops on Main Street, and the famous Venice Boardwalk. The ultra-cool boutiques on Abbot Kinney Blvd are 2 mins by car or 10 mins by foot. You can walk along the beach all the way to the grand Santa Monica Pier (20-30 mins with the waves at your feet) or ride the beach cruiser bicycle along the boardwalk (6-8 mins).
Getting to my home
From LAX Airport, the apartment is an affordable 20 minute trip by Uber or Taxi.

Getting Around
Everything from groceries to restaurants to shops to surfing is within walking distance, but there is also a beach cruiser bicycle that guests are welcome to use--especially nice for sunset rides on the Boardwalk! If you need a 2nd or 3rd bicycle there are numerous available to use with an app on almost every corner. Same for scooters. For longer journeys, Uber and Lyft usually arrive to pick you up in less than 5 minutes.
I am a Writer/Photographer with an apartment by the beach in Los Angeles, California. I travel frequently to the east coast and to Europe. I often exchange with trusted guests when I am traveling, but I am new to this home exchange and look forward to joining the community! I am by nature clean and calm: I treat my accommodations with the same care and respect as my own. My schedule is flexible and I welcome last minute opportunities to travel.
