We had a very pleasant stay at Leslie's place. She was out of town but totally available by phone and even sent a friend to welcome us. The little house is super cute and the garden is really a gem with palms and bamboo, perfect for relaxing time and BBQs. Everything you need is at walking distance. It's really very convenient. If you like to bike, 2 cruisers are at your disposal. It's perfect. From the house you can bike quickly to the beach and then all the way to Manhattan Beach & Redondo. Amazing. The house is really close to Abbot Kinney where all the hype restaurants and shops are. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family visiting L.A.
