AS A HOST: Alex is epitome of a SUPER HOST. His hospitality goes above and beyond expectations. Upon booking he worked on my behalf and called Airbnb Corporate to take care of some technical issues with extending my trip. This was an impromptu trip to treat myself with some rest & relaxation; however, when requested Alex helped by offering suggestions on somethings I could incorporate into my weekend. He is extremely personable, relatable, & foremost respectful of his guest. Yes Alex stays in a unit that is connected to the airbnb and we shared the outdoor space. However, it never felt intrusive or like an invasion of privacy. He was very transparent and always proactively requested if he could use the outdoor space (i.e. to grill his dinner, to clean the pool area, or do some landscape work).
AIRBNB: This airbnb provided all the amenities and sense of luxury that I wanted from: 24-hr access to the hot-tub & heated pool/lounge outdoor lounge, safe & pristine location, close proximity to all things (beach, restaurants, bars, stores, etc.), cleanliness, well executed interior & exterior design, and clear communication at all times.
When I return to Fort Lauderdale this will definitely be one of my top choices for vacationing. Who am I kidding it'll be my only choice, lol.
