Perfect place to rest

The room was very clean, neighborhood was quiet with easy access to all the Ft. Lauderdale neighborhoods and the property was within the bounds of the circuit rideshare ($4/ride anywhere in Ft. Lauderdale) which was a huge plus! Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Nice place!

Clean and nice, unsure of the neighborhood, everyone was nice but it also seemed a little sketchy. Beds needed support under the mattress- either plywood or box spring but other that that, everything was great!

Scamming place

I do not have anything to say. It was not what I need for my vacation it was a shed. No body to clean the room, no towel, sheet,_ under zero.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Feb 2024
Hello Patrick! Once again you booked a suite not a hotel, you did not read the description: there is no housekeeping (because it’s not a hotel). Clean towels are in the bathroom (in the cabinet) at the convenience of the guest. Also, shower gel is in the shower. Lastly, it’s not a shed which is a false claim it’s clearly a home. I hope you find a stay that accommodates you in the future. Best, BMSuite
