Overall the location of this place is great. Especially if you aren't renting a car and are going to be on foot or want to take Ubers to Hallandale Beach. It is 3 minutes to the beach and 3 minutes the other way to a CVS, Starbucks and grocery store. Not more you can ask for there. As far as the balcony, if you are looking for a view, this one is pretty level with the bridge it faces, so don't expect much more than that. I think this was once a brand new apartment that was polished and over time it has become a bit underwhelming. The front desk is busy and not super helpful, but it is easy enough to check in. Could overall use a sprucing up.
