Leslie was the perfect host and her home provides an excellent starting point to explore Santa Monica and the surrounding area. Leslie was welcoming, friendly, and helpful with suggestions. She has a very clean and well organized home. Leslie even makes an amazing pour over coffee, which was a pleasant surprise after a long car ride from Ventura. Her place was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Leslie's home is ideally situated near beaches, shopping, restaurants, and the highway. I could not have asked for anything more.
