Swiss-Inspired Creative Oasis & Private Patio

Description

We originally converted this space to host friends and family visiting from Switzerland and Germany. We wanted them to experience Southern California sunshine in a warm, welcoming space. Now we're thrilled to open our little oasis to visiting creatives, thinkers, and professionals. The Vibe & Our Family The space reflects our sensibilities. I spent my youth working with my hands and still enjoy woodworking as an outlet — the custom wooden wall behind the sleeping area is my own work, meant to bring a little warmth and inspiration to whoever stays here. Our lives are busy. Eva spends her days as a preschool director, helping young children thrive, while I split my time between solving creative problems in the advertising world and pursuing personal photography projects. I also play the euphonium — but don't worry, I play it at the far opposite end of the house. (Eva doesn't particularly enjoy it either.) We have a grown son who visits between college semesters. Our neighbors have watched him grow up, and we hope you'll enjoy meeting him too. The Setup While the studio shares a wall with our home, there are no shared interior spaces. Your flat monthly rate includes all utilities, high-speed WiFi, and bi-weekly professional cleaning. The kitchenette has a single-burner induction cooktop, microwave, coffee maker, and cookware. Climate is handled by a dedicated mini-split AC/heating unit. Your Private Outdoor Space You have your own private entrance and a dedicated yard area. We have three rescued dogs and a cat. The dogs respect the fence. The cat does not — she's shy but curious, and tends to station herself under the avocado tree to observe the street with quiet judgment. Our Hosting Style We love conversation when guests are open to it, but the choice is entirely yours. We deeply respect your need for privacy and quiet focus, and ask only for that same consideration in return.
