Maria is a great host and very accommodating. We originally booked for just my husband and myself but then ended up adding 3 kids to the list. She accommodated the extra people without hesitation which was so nice of her! We really appreciated it.
The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy but we just stayed for one night as our flight was early the next morning so it wasn't an issue. It's about a 15 minute drive to the airport or downtown Fort Lauderdale. It's right near the highway and you do hear a lot of traffic noise at night.
