Leslie's guest apartment was great - private entrance, very safe, nicely appointed and in a very fabulous neighborhood in the canyon area. Plenty of free parking out front and she gave great directions. She was nice enough to meet us and give a tour and then she left us to our vacation. She also typed up a couple of pages of local tips for nearby hikes and great views and some notable neighbors. Very helpful, I would definitely stay here again. I can't overstate how much I loved this location. 15 minute walk to the beach and about a 30 minute walk to cool shops and cafes in downtown Santa Monica. And I do recommend walking because the landscaping in this neighborhood is just stunning.
