My husband and I stayed at Leslie's place while visiting Santa Monica for 8 nights. Leslie's place is located on a quiet street away from traffic - though it is located near a hospital and fire dept so you may hear occasional sirens. Leslie provided many, many extras like a parking space, beach towels, cooler, boogie board, luggage racks, TV trays and 2 BIKES for guest use. There is even laundry on site if needed. The bedroom and bathroom are separated by a curtain from the other areas of the apartment for guest privacy which worked out very well. We would definitely stay here again.
