Beautiful house, especially the back yard! It was located in a quiet neighborhood which we enjoyed. It was quite a ways away from the main area of Fort Lauderdale, for people who are interested in exploring that area. We did run into some issues with check-in: I had contacted the host the evening before to ask if we could come 1-2 hours early. He never responded to us until 3 minutes before our check-in time with the code. I understand if the answer was no, but I would have preferred to know that ahead of time. Also, the cleaners were still there when we checked in, and stayed 2 hours into our rental. We asked for extended check out on our check out day given the delay with our check in, which the host kindly granted! However, the cleaner still showed up at the original check out time. We also had some maintenance issues related to plumbing- the dishwasher and freezer were leaking water all over the floor in the kitchen and the washer somehow “locked” itself and would not open, while all of our towels were in it. Israel was responsive to these maintenance issues! He was not able to solve them, but imagine he will as soon as he can hire the appropriate repair person. I think a number of the challenges we faced were due to this seeming like a new property where the host just has a few kinks to work out. Once those are worked out, this will be a great place to stay for someone who wants a low key weekend relaxing in a great backyard!!
