If you're looking for a really centrally located house to stay in while in Los Angeles, Leslie's place is a great option. We found the place very comfortable and welcoming and it was fully stocked with everything we needed, including beach towels! It's in a cute, older neighborhood that was very quiet day and night.
If you plan on hitting the beach, Hollywood, Universal Studios, Warner Brothers, an LA Dodgers game, etc., this is a short drive from all of them. If you want to stay home, the outdoor space is great. It's large and has a nice table and a hammock.
Also, Leslie is very communicative and responses quickly to any questions or needs. Highly recommend!
