Our condo was very clean and looks brand new. Luis was a great host and clearly tried very hard to accommodate us. This included being able to check in very early (very early flight!) on the day of our arrival, but this was huge because we were not looking forward to spending a day on the beach with our luggage (but we did not have to, so that was great!). The pictures represent the condo well. Very Euro/Nordic decorated, which was refreshing. Only slight negative, the building itself is a bit older and so not insulated particularly well (sound/plumbing), but this was not really much of an issue anyway.

The condo was very spacious, including the living room, and the kitchen is well stocked with plates/glasses/etc. No issues with A/C, water, or anything really.

There is a Walmart within (long) walking distance or a short bus ride (#4, literally right outside the complex) or a $5 Uber ride away. That Walmart has a grocery and all of the sun products in the world. (was better than Publix, which is about 1/2 mile further west on Hallandale Blvd). The condo is adjacent to the patio. The patio is immediately on the Intercoastal waterway. The pool area could use some updating. But, the ocean is right across the main road (Ocean Dr) and about a two block walk away (very close, less than 5 minute walk). Skip the pool and go to the beach! There is a liquor store adjacent to Publix, but I think there might have been one adjacent to Walmart also, forgot to check.

The Hollywood Boardwalk (fun!) was about a 1/2 mile or so walk to the north. We would recommend that you walk to the Boardwalk, walk up the Boardwalk, but then take Uber or the free Hollywood Trolley back. (we walked over 8 miles the first day, was a bit too much to walk both directions, but met our intent of going for a long walk... :) be forewarned that the Trolley stops running early.).

Highly recommend Sugar Reef (more upscale, great seafood!) and the Taco Spot (very casual, low key, cheap, good mahi tacos) on the Boardwalk.

We used Uber everywhere and the Uber pickup was at most 5 minutes. Skip the rental car, you do not need it.

We did take the Water Taxi ($26 per adult) up to Ft Lauderdale (Las Olas) and that was a great way to get out onto the water, but the ride was over 1.5 hours. Not a bad thing at all, just longer than we expected. Picked it up at The Diplomat (to the south several blocks). Paid by credit card on board the boat. Boat comes every hour or so only. Call ahead, the times shown on the posted sign are wrong.

There were 3 of us there for girls/moms 3 day escape and recharge.

Thank you, Luis, for a wonderful place to stay!!
