Over the last year when I had a work assignment in Santa Monica, I stayed with Leslie as many times as she had openings. She is a friendly, welcoming hostess. The bedroom has a comfortable bed, a desk that is a good space for work, a reading chair, and plenty of space to store clothes. The private bathroom also is clean and roomy, and if you want to cook, Leslie makes room in the refrigerator for your food and provides a well-equipped kitchen. It is a great value. No wonder Leslie is often booked!
