Queen West vs. Leslieville: Which area suits first-time renters?

I'm new to Toronto and trying to decide between Queen West and Leslieville for my first rental. Queen West seems lively and artsy, while Leslieville feels more suburban with charming cafes. Is one more convenient for public transit? Any tips on where to start searching?
