I have stayed with Stay SoFlo at three different locations. I would say my experience has been ok. To be frank, the quality of the apartments reduced from my first stay to the last.
The first apartment (1bed, 1bath) I stayed was in the Sailboat bend area. the place was good, in terms of location, price, comfort and cleanliness. One was the issues was ants. there were ants in the living room and the kitchen. I had an issue with the lock but it was resolved by the handyman the next day.
The second place I stayed was close to Victoria Park on 17th Ave (1bed, 1 bath). this place was good in terms of location, price and cleanliness. But it was not as comfortable. A couple of issues I had to deal with were
1. ants, there were ants everywhere, in kitchen and even in bedroom window sills.
2. the fridge did not work. the gave me a replacement mini fridge next day and after two days handyman came to fix the issue. I had to stay in the apartment during work to get these things dealt with. it felt like work to me. I lost almost $50 worth groceries in an night. the management told it was an unexpected issue, so no compensation.
3. there is no ac in the bedroom, so it becomes uncomfortable during the nights since the AC is in the kitchen and is not efficient. The ceiling fan works but only circulates the warm air inside the room. So it's not very comfortable.
The place I stayed was close to Lake ridge area.
the place is good in terms of location, cleanliness and nice little private backyard. I had a few issues with this place.
1. only one AC in the living room so the bedroom becomes a sauna in the night even with the ceiling fan. I placed the extra fan they provided in the path that connected the living room and bedroom to get some cold airflow.
2. the living room is small and tv is mounted on the wall. the viewing angle is really bad and hurts the neck. The couch in the living room seems to be sunken deep and stains on it.
4. if you plan to work from home and use the internet to connect to VPN or something, forget it. Out of all the places this place had the worst internet. On one of the days the power was switching on and off like at least 10-15 times which kept interrupting my work. I had to contact the management and they responded that they were aware, that's all.
Well so my overall experience was 4star for the price I paid and experience I had. I felt that the management team is good in responding to messages and concerns but I also think everytime I stayed with them, I always had to contact them for some reason or the other reason to get things fixed.
But everything said, I would stay with them again for my next visit in Ft. Lauderdale.
