Leslie's place is a great central spot for those looking to explore in LA without being confined to one spot in particular. We found it very easy to get to SM Pier, the beach, Venice Beach, etc. via the bicycles or any of the electric scooters around. We also could get to the city easily by car. Leslie was thorough about giving a tour of her place and some ground rules as it does not have a separate entrance. She put together a very helpful binder with WiFi passwords, local businesses, suggested places to visit, etc. She is a great local guide and she also offers an evening tour that we didn't have time to do, but sounded great. Would definitely stay again.
