This rental property completely fit our needs as a respite from the chaos of the FLL-MIA metropolis. The apartment was clean, well decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen is a little small , but as we ate most of our lunches and dinners out, that wasn't too much of a factor. It worked perfectly for the meals we did prepare there. We had considered having a dinner in to grill, but it just didn't happen.
The garden is GORGEOUS and the host's love of her garden and nature was extremely obvious in the care she took in tending it. Tropical flowers, fruit trees, orchids and air plants, all with lizards and birds and butterflies flitting about. Every time I walked through the garden, whether to go to or from the car, or to just explore, I found some new and beautiful surprise.
The property is very close to I-95, I-595, FLL airport and downtown Port Lauderdale, but feels as if it is in a less suburban neighborhood. The Riverside Market, a local place with good pizza and other food, as well as an extensive selection of craft beer to enjoy is within walking distance, as well as a craft beer store. There are several groceries very nearby, and easy to get to with the help of a GPS for us out-of-towners.
The host, Ginette, is a wonderfully warm, accommodating and gracious woman.
All in all, this tropical oasis was a perfect respite after navigating the chaos of South Florida traffic. We would DEFINITELY consider staying here again.
