What a fabulous experience! Leslie was incredibly responsive from the minute I booked the reservation. I told her I was attending the University of Santa Monica and not sure if I needed a car. She looked it up and saw I was less than a mile away and could easily walk. She then graciously offered to pick me up from the airport, which was absolutely outstanding and so thoughtful. Leslie is a very personable and lovely person. Her home is clean, welcoming and comfortable. I felt very at ease and the bed is super comfy. I slept great and had a great weekend. Whole Foods is very close too which is a plus if you want to save a little money on meals! I will return and highly recommend staying with Leslie when in the Santa Monica area. Thank you, Leslie!
