A Mid-Winter Get-a-Away
A group trip to Fort Lauderdale in January, our stay at Ivan's place was really good!
Almost everything was as described like the walking distance to Birch State Park, Fort Lauderdale Beach and the Publix Groceries store which were all within 5 minutes! Along with a few dinning options their are options for food but anything else more "hip" required far more distance. Loas Olas, Hollywood Beach, Night Lift was all either 40-50 minutes walking or 10-15 minutes by Uber, neither bad but not the greatest option. In terms of the accommodations everything was as described, except that the pull out couch was no better than the floor, a few outlets did not work, no real trashcan in the room, and a lackluster assortment of cooking utensils. Towels will also be your biggest problem due to the fact that you are not considered apart of the hotel, the pool towels are rarely stocked and staff was unhelpful most of the time. Other than that, great views and a great location
