My family and myself recently stayed in Leslie’s place for just over two weeks and overall really enjoyed our stay. Leslie’s home is perfectly situated close to many amenities including gas stations, grocery stores, and very close to a freeway entrance which worked perfectly for our busy days. The addition of free onsite parking was a huge bonus as anyone who visited LA knows parking is extremely scares. Similarly, Leslie’s instructions regarding self-check-in was straightforward and worked perfectly for us as we were traveling trans-Atlantic and couldn’t guarantee a specific time we’d arrive.
As for the home itself, it was overly lovely. Very clean and homely with plenty of added extras including a hair-straightener. There was also plenty of items such as towels, linen, toilet rolls, and even added extras such as coffee which we’ve never had before in Airbnb’s. Our only critique of our stay was the lack of air conditioning. During our stay LA was experiencing some very high temperatures in the 100s and this meant that the Airbnb became extremely hot at night with the thermostat reading 90+ regularly. While it is mentioned in the description that air conditioning is not included in the home, I think given its location in Southern California and price of booking per-night it’s fair to expect a bit more comfort where air conditioning is concerned. Anyone who comes from a cooler climate and might not be used to warmer temperatures, like us, should note that on warm LA nights and days you won’t experience much relief from the heat here. I also to want to make a note that the internal back door’s lock is broken, so anyone’s whose security nervous should be aware.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay here as a great base to explore LA from, and Leslie was a lovely host who we always felt we could reach out to if need be.
