Leslie accepted us on a last minute basis for a one-night stay in Santa Monica while my friend and I drove up the coast. The little apartment is completely detached from the main house and totally adorable with lots of orange accents. Leslie met us out front and showed us around. She also provided us with a guide to the area that included practical things like the closest coffee shop and fun things like where we might spot local celebrities! The kitchen was well stocked and even had tea and coffee for our enjoyment. The best part....the beach was just a short walk down the hill!! It was a joy staying at Leslie's and I'll definitely stay again next time I'm in LA!
