Wow. What an amazing journey this past week has been. Rob’s place was everything we expected and more. First off, Rob’s complex is placed in one of the best locations in Venice. 1 mile west and you hit the beach, gorgeous white sand as far as the eye can see. While if you go 1 mile east, you will hit one of the best supermarkets in LA. This being none other than the infamous Ralph’s. I mention Ralph’s because on the keys Rob gives each guest, attached is a Ralph’s card that will save you $$$ every time you shop! The location of this complex is easily the best part about it. While we came via air travel, we did not have a vehicle to drive around in. While we thought this would be a problem, Rob had many bikes that he allowed us to use whenever we would like. Along with the bikes, the city of LA has many motorized vehicles available for the public (Lime’s, birds, wheels, etc.). These vehicles are very easy and cheap to operate, usually $1 to start and .25 cents each mile.
Next, the food. I don’t know if you are aware of this but the food in sunny Los Angeles has got to be some of the best food in the entire world. Hole in the walls such as Eggslut and Cabo Cantina were two of our absolute favorite places to eat. Cabo Cantina was extremely delicious and caught our eye with their famous 36oz margaritas! If you are to travel their, I highly recommend the Rosa Rita as it mixes a beautiful strawberry and lime mix with Patron tequila. It is definitely to die for.
Finally, the bathroom.
Have you ever been to a place with never ending shampoo and conditioner? Did you forget to pack sunscreen? Tylenol? Even toothpaste? Don’t worry because Rob has you covered. As two college students, we forgot all of the above. While preparing a trip to Ralph’s we were writing down all of the toiletries that we might need for the week. Once entering the bathroom we realized we didn’t need to buy anything because Rob knows his guests.
Overall this trip was absolutely amazing filled with memories we will never forget thanks to Rob. Rob, once again thank you so much for the stellar hospitality and we highly recommend staying at Rob’s place if you wish to have half the fun we encountered on this beautiful trip.
While Rob’s place wasn’t the nicest place we have ever stayed, every part of it made it feel like home.
