I stayed with Christian for 4/12 months; I will keep this as short but detailed as possible. I always felt safe although there are some cons listed below.
PROS: Christian is a great host and really communicative; very accommodating and hospitable, tidy/organized/clean, always concerned about his guests, and a great conversationalist. He is also on top of any problems that may arise. Check-in was very easy as he was home when I got there; keypad with code to enter house. House and room is a bit small and cozy, but nicely updated; bathroom is nice and well organized; large yard with a mango tree and a table underneath for hanging out; bed/furniture was comfortable. Location is great; central to all Fort Lauderdale and easy access to all surrounding areas.
CONS: Neighborhood is Lauderdale Manors, the hood – VERY active and noisy; neighbors often have loud music and large gatherings at all hours of the day and night, and especially on the weekends; quite loud in the room at these times. Wifi is not that reliable (I really noticed it as I work from home). Parking is under a tree and on grass, so your car may get spiders/webs/ants, inside and out, if parked for extended periods. House is a bit old and doesn’t seem to be sealed perfectly, which is understandable, we had some critters and bugs get in.
All in all, I did like this place and would stay again, but probably not for an extended period of time. I did like hanging out and talking with Christian when we had the chance, he’s a great guy!
