We've always booked entire place because we're not comfortable sharing with strangers. However our hotel booking got messed up so we urgently need to booking. Since we only stayed 1 night before getting on a cruise, we decided to try the shared accommodating at Melissa & Sam's place after reading all the postitive reviews. Right from the start we felt comfortable and welcoming through the friendly chat with Melissa & Sam. The place was cozy, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed hanging out for a bit the next morning chatting with Sam, and playing with Chewbacca before leaving for the cruise. We certainly will come back and stay here before future Fort Lauderdale cruises.
