WHO WE ARE: We are two pilot roommates who have a house near BUR (~2 mi.) and offset the costs of living in Los Angeles on an aviation budget by renting out additional living space at the property. We are not a business and we do not collect profit beyond living expenses and accommodations. Permanent residents (that's us) are Udo, a charter pilot and full instructor (CFI-AIM)...

Other permanent residents include the feline and canine variety, so animal-phobes or allergies are probably not a good mix. Sometimes it may take us a couple days to return a call, due to erratic travel and work schedules -- please, do not call multiple times in one day, especially without leaving a message, rather be patient for a return call or better yet, send email.
THE CRASHPAD:
| ***
Please note: We're relatively new in this property and are in the final
stages of remodeling the space to better accommodate the crashpad arrangement
(and get rid of the pink, yellow and burnt orange and the funky layout!)
The current set-up shown is very temporary and the new addition has
its own separate bathroom, complete and separate kitchen facilities
with a sink, washer & dryer, as well as additional common and utility
areas both inside and out. The sleeping facilities will be dedicated
(sleeping only) and host more privacy. Interiors & exteriors will
aspire to an aviation
theme in both function and feature.*** |
The available space consists of a large shared-room: dorm-style with 6 permanent beds: 3 loft and 3 day beds, and 3 additional trundle beds available if needed -- think "youth hostel".
The space also features a common area with a pullout couch-bed, work-desk and computer with hard-wired high-speed (as well as constant WiFi) , and TV with cable and VCR/DVD accomodations. We provide a kitchenette area in the crashpad including dish-storage (with provided dishes and flatware), a microwave, full-sized refrigerator/freezer, coffee-maker, toaster, toaster oven and hotplate. Currently, water and sink usage are shared in the main kitchen and/or bathroom as needed.
There is a full shared bathroom and a common room, that is currently combined with the front living room. This is furnished with TV, DVD, X-Box, Nintendo and a library of media (that must remain in the common room, please). The front and backyards are available for use (barbeques, etc.) and contain several fruit trees (orange, lemon, grapefruit...) which you are welcome to eat when ripe. We live directly across the street from a nice public park with a jogging trail, basketball court, and sports fields and well as food vendors, barbeques and picnic tables. We also have a full set of home gym equipment for use, that will be set it up in a dedicated space after construction.
Housekeeping in commonly used areas is everyone's responsibility, though we do have a service we can call if people collectively or individually decide to spring for the fee. We do offer use of our washer & dryer but laundry soap, toiletries, etc. are your own responsibility as is stocking and cleaning of your food in the fridge. We also offer a couple of bicycles for your use should you wish, but again, we take no responsibility for ongoing maintenance or security; accordingly they may need some repair to get 'em moving. If you have a vehicle, there is plenty of street parking.
Additional amenities include:
-
WiFi throughout the property
-
Several TV-VCR-DVD systems (for training videos as well as entertainment)
-
A private office with
-
a copier
-
printer
-
incoming & outgoing fax capability and
-
-
A PC-based flight sim with rudder pedals and joystick.
The office facilities are available on as-needed/as-available basis, and the computer in this room is not otherwise for public use.
