John and Mermolina's place is an excellent value!

The cottage is located in an ideal spot -- quiet and safe but within 5 minute's walk of Las Olas Boulevard with its plethora of shops, a few parks, and easy access to both public transport and taxis/ Uber. In particular, I would suggest checking out the Sun Trolley, which is free/ low-cost depending on route (and can carry you to the beach/ beyond if you are not in a hurry), and the nearby bakery, Gran Forno, with superb bread, great pastries, and strong Illy coffee. Rocco's Tacos are also good. Many places stayed open very late.

The cottage itself is clean and comfortable. Both fan and air conditioner are available to beat the heat. Bed, sheets, blankets, towels are nice and soft; I especially appreciated the assortment of pillows as most pillows are too soft for me. The hosts provide various amenities in case you forgot to pack something. Coffeemaker with supplies and a mini- fridge are also provided, making my week-long stay much easier. There's also a collection of DVDs to watch in the evening.

John and Mermolina were a pleasure to interact with. Friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I had a good time talking to John about nature and archaeology.
