We shy away from hotels/motels whenever we can and this condo was ideal. This was a real home away from home for us, like being in a small version of home. Clean and well equipped. Kitchen was great for some home cooking at the end of the day. We will look to stay again when we are in the area. Gaia was very helpful.

It was a pleasure having you and thank you for the opportunity to let me be your host. I am glad that you felt at home away from home. It will be my pleasure to host for you or your friends again soon.
Property was good. Very heavy traffic no matter where you wanted to go. Enjoyed the broadwalk in Hollywood.

Was adequate for our needs
Nice quiet neighborhood - quite small but adequate. Bed was too soft and a/c never got below 75 - a bit too warm for us as well.

Perfect
Stayed 2 nights in December and the whole experience was absolutely amazing. The owner was very helpful and welcoming. The place was perfect: very clean, modern, comfortable and affordable. Love the location as it is close to everything we needed, including the airport which is only 9mins away. This will be definitely be our main spot for vacation in Fort Lauderdale. Great experience, highly recommend staying here.
