The porch was our favorite spot to eat, very quiet with palm trees and other native plants in the backyard. We felt safe walking in the residential neighborhood at night, plus it was possible to walk to business areas. Aldi’s and Publix are both a short distance away. The beds and linens were extremely comfortable. I appreciated the overhead fans because I preferred not to use the available air conditioning. Each day during our two week stay we either swam in the Atlantic Ocean at Dania Beach or swam in one of the exceptionally clean nearby YMCA pools. I mentioned to Gia that after the two week stay I felt physically stronger and happier, having eaten wholesome, home cooked meals and in warmly welcoming surroundings. The only part I disliked about this vacation was the heavy freeway traffic around Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. To reduce stress it is well worth paying extra for toll roads. I’d also recommend that people use Fed. Highway One to Gia’s from the Fort Lauderdale Airport.
