Staying at Vince's place was seriously the best idea for my one-day vacay. The price was mos def better than any of the surrounding hotels... and cozier!
The guest house was very easy to find. Vince was very accommodating to our parking sitch (I was a little apprehensive because we had two cars, one with work equipment that we wanted to make sure was going to be safe overnight). He moved his car and even opened the gate so both cars could be parked comfortably.
My first impression when walking to the guest house was, "Holy shit, this is a really dope spot." The guest house was super clean. What made it even better was the fact that he had a fridge stocked with juice, water and breakfast foods! I'm a sucker for free anything-edible, so I was super stoked. And trust me, if there is food around, IT WILL BE EATEN. I felt really spoiled because the morning of checkout, I Keurig'd the fuck out of his K-cups, which is something only celebrities or, like, rich people do.... And I'm not even rich! Point of the story is I felt extremely welcomed. Vince even came out to introduce himself as we were leaving. Such a nice guy!
Let's not forget that the TV has an Amazon Fire stick. Oh, and the bed is maaad comfy. No exaggeration (FOOOOAAAMM FTW). And the shower felt so bomb, I didn't want to get out (took a little while to heat up, but totes not a big deal). Vince also has some shampoo, conditioner and body wash just in case you're forgetful like moi.
All in all, my dude and I had a very good experience at Vince's! He's very responsive to my messages which I really appreciate because I'm an impatient brat. He even suggested a few breakfast spots after I asked him what was good (ended up not going though; too tired from HHN**).
The one thing I couldn't stop saying to my man was, "Damn, I really like this place. I wanna come here again. Also, I should prob make Vince my BFF cuz his profile says he speaks Tagalog, and that's a tall-tale sign he's Filipino. I think." Or... something like that.
Anyhow, def coming back whenever I need another mini getaway.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, VINCE! You're the best host and I hope to see you and your fridge again very soon! :)
*Side note: Speaking of Halloween Horror Nights, a one-way Uber ride to his place from Universal Studios was only like $6, which is amazing if your feet hurt and you've been drinking and are too adorable to walk up that steep ass hill.*
