My fiance and I traveled to Los Angeles to visit her brother at UCLA and see the West Coast for the first time. We chose Leslie's Airbnb for the location, just off Santa Monica Boulevard, which you follow for just 2 miles to get to the beach. Not only was the location perfect - close to the amazing West Coast beaches but far inland enough for peace and quiet - but we were not disappointed with a single aspect of our stay.

Here are some of the perk of our stay:

- Beautiful, quiet neighborhood
- Amazing coffee offered to us every morning
- Clean bathroom of our own, with nice soaps
- Soft sheets, awesome mattress - so awesome in fact that we have now set out to buy the exact model for ourselves to replace our old spring mattress
- Leslie's warm personality
- A block or so from bus routes and bike share... the bike share is a must-try if you are staying in LA. We had a car but much preferred using these. You get an app and set up in 5-10 minutes, and then use the code you are given to rent bikes, which are incredibly simple to rent and return. The average ride to the beach or food cost us about $1.20 and gets you some exercise and fresh air to boot.

So in summary, very glad we stayed here, it made our stay nice, cozy, convenient, and hassle free. We had first considered staying a few more miles inland, but now are so happy that we stayed just a few minutes bike ride from the coast. We will definitely stay with Leslie on our next trip to LA. Thanks Leslie!!!
