*** To All ~ Welcome to my ad! Please be aware that at times there can be a lot of scams on Craigslist, especially in the housing section.
My name is Jim and I am a long-time Santa Monica resident, 100% honest and legitimate.
I will not ask you to pay rent before you arrive (if someone does, be very careful), and I will make sure that you feel completely comfortable before making any decision to move in.
We will either meet in person when I show you the apartment or, if you are not in town, we will have a video chat before coming to any decision.

I have a fully furnished bedroom available around March1st in my light bright 3 bedroom/2 bathroom Santa Monica apartment.
The bedroom is fully furnished with a queen bed and a second full size loft bed, so it can work for one person or 2 friends.
It also has a large dresser with mirror and spacious walk-in closet.
Study desk and lamp.
Perfect for visitors to Santa Monica.
Short terms of 1 to 3 months are fine, or longer terms may be considered, but I do prefer shorter terms as I enjoy meeting new people.
Month-to-month agreement, no long-term lease to sign.
I pride myself on providing safe and friendly accommodations to visitors to Santa Monica, so please be friendly and social, easy to get along with.
This is a very nice room that I built in my living room with walls made out of Japanese Rice Paper Shoji Screens and ceiling-to-floor curtains for privacy ~ see photos above of the room, as well as the kitchen and the bathroom, and of many past roommates I have hosted from all over the world ~ Denmark, China, France, Sweden, Canada, Russia, Czech Republic, Sri Lanka, Italy, Germany, Saudi Arabia and many other countries.
As part of your room you have a balcony with a nice view of a courtyard filled with fruit trees.
Your rent will be $850 per month for one person or $1050 per month ($575 each) for two friends.
No couples please.
I ask a small $500 fully refundable security deposit per person.
Other important info…
All utilities and wifi are included in your rent ~ nothing extra to pay ~ just the monthly rent.
Access to a fully furnished kitchen.
Safe and convenient location close to grocery stores, restaurants, the beach.
Please be either vegetarian, or vegan, or willing to forego eating meat in the apartment.
I enjoy learning about other cultures ~ international visitors preferred but all considered.
Environmentally-minded household ~ I recycle and compost everything possible.
Please be neat, clean, no drugs, no smoking of any kind.
