Leslie has a wonderful apartment very near to the centre of Santa Monica. The bed is fantastically comfortable with lots of hanging space for clothes ,and your own tv, and the use of two geared bikes means that you don’t need a car as you can easily cycle all around Santa Monica and from there travel north and south along the beach cycle path.
The kitchen is a shared space, with your own fridge shelf and use of all Leslies equipment, a toasted, kettle and pans etc. She is at work 9-5 weekdays so you have the space to yourself and her cat!
There is no outside sitting space which is such a shame when the weather is so lovely most of the year, but we found our favourite bar down town where we could sit out in the sun and read books sipping a beer. There is some noise from local traffic in the mornings, but this is LA and the neighbours are very quite and Leslie is like a ninja, so no problem there!!
