My first experience using AirBnB couldn't have been better because it connected me with Chris and his fabulous condo in Hollywood FL. We were on the tail end of our 2 week family vacation celebrating high school graduations, and I was desperate to move my family from the disasterous VRBO condo that I'd booked 8 months ago. The VRBO condo was old, dirty, and infested with bugs. We were forced to spend one night there because it was 10pm and too late to find a new property to move to.
Then I found Chris's condo via AirBnB at 10am the next morning, and he responded within an hour that his property was still available and he could accommodate my family to move in earlier than his standard 4pm check in time. We finished the booking logistics quickly, and packed up as fast as we could. We were moved into Chris's condo by 2pm, and my family was happy again.
Communication with Chris via AirBnB, and his local partner Alberto was very responsive and thorough, which was especially appreciated because we were booking and checking in the same day. While the registration and parking was a bit complicated, the detailed step by step instructions and the 2 proactive phone calls from Alberto helped us get checked in fairly quickly, so the kids could drop their bags and walk to the beach within 5 mins of arriving.
Chris's condo was exactly as the pictures showed and as described in the listing, and it was immaculately clean which was so important to me considering what we had abandoned earlier in the day. The condo was in a great location and stocked with everything we needed for our 3 night stay.
I can't thank Chris and Alberto enough for working with us and SAVING the rest of our vacation! I would recommend Chris's condo in a heartbeat, and also will plan to book again if we find ourselves in Ft Lauderdale/Miami Beach area again anytime soon.
