Queen-size bed with Temper-Pedic mattress --.lots of closet space (left), too!
Location: Santa Monica, Los Angeles County & Catalina Island, California, USA (Only 15 minutes to LAX airport, 3 min. to the freeways)
Accommodations: Guest Cottage, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
This delightful, totally renovated & furnished studio guest cottage is perfect as a quiet vacation hideaway or a relaxing retreat if you plan to stay longer. Best for a single guest or a couple, our cozy, light-filled cottage is crowned by skylights and features French doors opening onto a charming backyard patio and garden with lemon and orange trees. We're situated on a treed, residential street only one mile from the ocean in beautiful Mar Vista, right next to Santa Monica and Marina del Rey.
Top-flight restaurants, cinemas and antique shops are 3-5 minutes away. And if you drive down our cross street (passing a very convenient Costco and an Albertson's supermarket), you'll arrive at the fabulous beaches of Santa Monica and Venice in less time than it takes to stroll around the block.
The cottage offers a full kitchen with all utensils, glasses and cookware, as well as a large refrigerator, a gas range and oven, and new over-the-counter microwave stove. Ingenious use of space allows you to use the tiled counter top area as a computer/work space -- there is plenty of storage and shelves underneath -- and as a dining area, as well as an extra counter space for preparing your groceries from the nearby Venice and Mar Vista farmer's markets.
The apartment comes with cable TV (including all premium movie channels and HBO), WiFi and broadband DSL and a land line phone, all included in the rent, as well as a CD player with CD library.
The studio's queen-size bed features an exceptional Temper-Pedic mattress that offers a superior sleep, and a view looking out through the French patio doors onto the backyard and its orange, lemon and avocado trees. The bathroom features a brand new corner circular shower and heat lamp. And next to the bougainvillea in the backyard, there's a convenient washer-dryer cabana which is shared with the main house's tenants next door.
There's non-restricted street parking and, of course, all utilities are included in the rent.
Our "Beethoven's Bungalow" is a true gem in the heart of L.A.'s west side, and is available beginning the middle of August '08 for either short-term (minimum four nights) or long-term stays.

The Bungalow on Beethoven is just the right size for 2. It's homey, quaint and has a "feel" of old CA. We totally enjoyed our stay. Just minutes from Venice Beach, shopping, neighnborhood eateries and the Boardwalk. Don't miss this delightful escape for 2 in CA. Thanks, James, for a wonderful stay!

“We are a couple from Budapest who stayed at the Bungalow for one month and absolutely loved it. It is warm and cozy and secure and all the conveniences are there. Especially we liked the full kitchen and the patio that looks out onto the backyard and the fruit trees. We felt like we were staying in a French country cottage! Thank you, James. We are recommending this to our friends!” - Geza and Silvia Bartucz, Budapest, Hungary +36 (1) 237-1525

“James has such a cute cottage. It’s large enough for two people to live comfortably, and cozy enough to feel warm and homey. I have rented other apartments from James in the past and this is one of my favorites. It was clean and neat and welcoming and also conveniently located to shops and restaurants and the beach. I especially enjoyed the the backyard garden and fruit trees and of course the patio, where I spent lots of time catching up on my reading in peace and quiet. What a lovely vacation hideaway.” - Patricia Hamilton, New York, NY
