We would stay again! Miriam was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive to messages to answer all of our inquiries and questions. Thank you for your prompt and kind communication. We were glad to know about the $20 key fob charge before arriving--which allows you to access to the pool, gym, and beach. It was very small and I easily attached it to a hair tie and wore around my wrist. The views from the balcony were great---one side is the lagoon/canal--and the other is the beach/ocean. The laundry and trash chute is close to the unit and convenient! We enjoyed having the extra half bathroom for our stay.
Things that were beyond the control of the host----this is a large building (17 floors) and only one elevator was working for the week we were there, which led to very long wait times to go up/down. The other item was pool lounge chairs. The week we were there, only 8 chairs were available for use. Due to this, we never got a pool lounge chair and had to lay on the cement with towels. The good news----the day we left; management decided to add more chairs---I estimated it to be about 25. So this hopefully should not be an issue for travelers in the future.
The location---it is right on Hallendale Beach--walking distance to restaurants, gas station, and Wal-Mart. It was too far away from Hollywood Beach Boardwalk than we anticipated. We discovered the "Circuit" which shuttled us to and from the Boardwalk for only $1 per passenger.
