Staying at Leslie's place was exactly what I needed. Who knew a quiet place in LA existed?! It is in a beautiful home with great energy, a quick jog to the beach, and very close to the temescal state park where if you're into trail running and hiking, you can do a 22km loop if you want to. I never would have expected this from LA and would definitely stay again. Hitting up the Sunday farmers market nearby was a bonus too!
