What to Bring.
A. Please Bring World Peace. Thank you.
B. Not Much! This is minimalist modern, high. vibrations, yet cheap living in the big city of Los Angeles! (18.71 million metropolitan, 10 million Los Angeles county)
C. Ok, the ice breakers settled in and the ship has not hit any! Ready to Set Sail ?
1. Bring one set of twin bed sheets and comforter. Bring your own Pillows. We provide a clean or brand new, water proof- bed bug proof, human proof Mattress Encasement.
2. Provide your own Laundry Bag that can close with a draw string is best. Bring your own Toiletry Bag as we do not allow for people to leave their toothpaste or anything on the bathroom counter tops.
6. You may bring, no larger that one gallon, sized Water container for your own personal, purified drinking water. Hundreds of water machines in the city! Fifty cents for one Gallon at the grocery stores.
7. We do have shared dishes and cups, but they are limited so we do not experience giant Dirty Dish mountains, so you may bring one set of dish, utensil and cup ware to be stored, neatly in your room or dry food storage area, with your name-labeled in a proper sized storage container, on top of your assigned fridge.
8. Your new Private wardrobe closet is approximately 2 feet deep by 3 feet wide and six feet tall. Victory House has larger private wardrobes at 2 feet deep x 4 feet wide and 6 feet tall. Wardrobes are lockable, so you may provide your own gym lock. Each Bedroom is unique to each house. Some to all have extra shared shelving, nooks for clothing. Communal Closets too!
**This is not your own room, so please be mindful of your shared space. During the tour Ask the Touring Manager to help point out to you all the possible nooks and crannies for your clothing, shoes, other personal items.
9. Laptops, cell phones, ipads, chargers; always keep these items near you. We do not have a theft culture, but we do have many people sharing one roof. So, people can accidentally take a charger or it just gets lost in the shuffle and daily grind/fun. Use a book bag type apparatus to store your electronics. Keep this by your bed or on top of your wardrobe. Charging outlets for electronics are provided on each bunk bed. 95% of the time, residents misplace their phones somewhere in the house or loose them outside of the house. Ring Cameras help us deter unwanted petty thefts.
10. Bring a Positive attitude and good manners to your new life in Los Angeles! Please Smile to all your new roomies and neighbors and you won't be messed with ever! LOL Please and thank you works very well when finding new jobs, preserving new gigs and holding on to people of good value and merit. Learning all your roommates names is not hard or impossible and will help you and them in the long run. I know over 100 names. So can you!
11. Filming Gear, Music Gear, misc gear/storage.
Rose House:
a. You may bring two large boxes for House basement storage. Suitcases stored in basement or Garage or Bedrooms.

12. We provide internet modems, routers, mesh wi-fit. Toilet Paper, Hand Paper towels, kitchen rags, sponges, dish soap, Hand soap, washed bathroom rugs, furniture, Maid, Electricians, Plumbers, Carpenters, Property manager all for this very low price.
13. Toiletries - Each house has communal shelving for your hair washes, soaps and grooming gear, but they are not meant for long term storage. There are some spots claimed for LTS, but what I recommend and did when I lived at the houses is have a Toiletry Pouch or Bag that I stored on top of my wardrobe or a space next to my bed or on a commons shelf in my bedroom. This way nobody used my shampoo and shaving cream or perfume... !! Towel hooks in all bedrooms.
14. You will have an individual Shared-housing lease. Which qualifies you for legal stay in California. DMV stuff.. and proof to a future landlord or employer if they call for proof of tenancy. It's a month 2 month lease. Thank you for reading this write up. Please ask Geoffrey for anymore questions.
