This was perhaps the absolute best AirB&B experience I have had - and I have had quite a few good ones! The apartment, the building it was in, and the little town, were all better than I expected. The building is evidently brand new, and quite beautifully designed. The kitchen and bathroom are both VERY well- and thoroughly-equipped, the AC and heat work fine, and the place is FULL of amenities (beach towels and chairs, coffee and sugar and creamer and of course a coffee-maker, but then, the kitchen is COMPLETELY equipped with everything one might have in one's own kitchen back home, and all new. TVs in both rooms, etc. etc.) I didn't actually want to use the AC, so I asked Ari if he had a simple fan around - he went out and bought one!
One difficulty I did have was in connecting to the internet. I was in apt. 4 (out of 4), while the wifi router was in apt. 2 - too great a distance for my computer to quite manage. Now, there WAS a very strong signal coming from a signal amplifier in apt. 3, but it never functioned properly. If that little glitch were fixed - and attempts to fix it were made AS SOON as I brought it up, with a friendly maintenance guy coming right over after 7pm on a Monday night! - the place would be just about perfect. (The apartment also could be equipped with one strong beach-umbrella. THAT is something I would have used if it had been available.)
I would gladly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay near the beach in greater Ft. Lauderdale. Ari was an absolutely terrific host - very present, quick communication, helpful and friendly.
