Marco and Mojito were absolutely wonderful hosts. Mojito is Marco's adorable Siamese. I randomly picked Fort Lauderdale for a quick getaway. Never been. And quite honestly, Miami is not my scene. Marco made sure I had enough towels, sheets as well as recommendations as for activities and restaurants during my stay. He even offered to make coffee in the morning. I declined the sweet gesture because I was decoding from caffeine. Upon my arrival, Marco was about to loan me his bike and it was stolen from his driveway. The neighborhood is safe by the way. His home is walking distance to the grocery and the Trek bike rental store. If you're not into walking, Uber and Lyft are accessible and fast.

You have to hang out by the pool! Besides the beach, why go anywhere else? The landscaping from the back and the front of his home is so lush, tropical, private and absolutely beautiful. It's paradise. I've been to Puerto Rico and Costa Rica and it reminded me of those places. There was a moment while I was reading my book on the lounge chair that I forgot I was in Florida.

Thanks Marco and Mojito. I had a wonderful time.
