Other Things to Note:
We take great pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable space for our guests. Our team follows strict cleaning protocols, and we regularly fumigate the property to keep it pest-free. However, due to Florida’s warm climate, high humidity, and the property's proximity to the water, it’s common for local insects, including the occasional roach, to make an appearance—even after our best efforts.
Most of the time, you might find them already deceased as a result of our regular pest control. While this is a rare occurrence, we believe in being transparent. If you’re particularly sensitive to insects and this could impact your stay, we suggest considering another option to ensure your comfort.

This property was well maintained, spacious and centrally located. It was perfect for my needs. A previous review mentioned lack of window coverings so i was prepared as the yard crew cleaned up outside in the dark of the morning. The private patio was lovely and the property was safe and well lit outsier a d
Simple property with nice private small yard thats great for dogs. Well lit path and yard so coming back after dinner or bars is easy to see. Basic necessities provided. Safe, walkable area with charm. Only criticism is water pressure in shower needs to be stronger.
Our stay was good overall. Fenced yard with small patio, great if you’re bringing pups and felt very clean inside. Minor issues were the hot water was pretty scarce, we had issues with internet/connecting to the TV and didnt hear back from the host for a few hours. You also have to connect your Amazon account to have access to use apps vs the smart tv already being connected, not a big deal just small inconvenience. There were no blinds on the front window, this unit has a private gate so didnt think it was an issue at first however the gate does not lock and someone came in the following morning to clean the yard as we were getting ready with no notice given.
The apartment was spotless and just like the photos and description. I even got a barbecue and coal, did not have time to use it, but it was nice tiuch
I have been to Fort Lauderdale every week for the past 3 months, and tried a lot of different options. This is by far the best apartment available. From the mattress to shower and kitchen, always clean and the host is always ready to go the extra mile, like getting me a barbecue grill.

Ok place for an overnight. Not for longer term stays.The Pros: quiet neighborhood, places to walk, laundry is great, A/C works great, full size fridge and Smart TV.Cons: the shower has an aged/defective tankless heater, so you'll get warm water but not hot. There are no blinds or curtains on the windows so you'll in full view of the neighbors or landscapers (saw both). Missing some basic features like a door mat, lamps in the bedroom, etc. The private yard area has no seating and the only table/chairs are rickety and moldy. The host is not very responsive, but pleasant. I probably wouldn't stay here again.
Overall, we had an amazing stay. The place was beautiful and located in a great area. The host was very helpful and kept in contact with us from the beginning to the end of our stay. We gave this location 4 stars because we did have a few issues. The water in the bathroom had a discoloration. We first noticed it in the sink, and then the bathroom toilet. On our last day, we noticed the brownish water while taking our showers. Another issue we had was the internet service. The internet was going in and out for us. During our last night, we relaxed and wanted to watch tv, but the internet wasn’t stable. We also had to set up our Amazon account on the television because it wasn’t anything programmed on the tv for us to watch. Overall, the place was nice, but the host will definitely need to get the water issue fixed. We had to retake our showers at a family member’s apartment on our last day because we were itching, and it had to be from the water.
