Lauri's place is a relatively old ranch style home on a scenic canal in possibly one of the best locations for nearby restaurants and shopping in Fort Lauderdale. Although the walls and decor reflect the style of a relatively inexpensive houses built during that period, the home is roomy, well furnished and accommodating, particularly because of a closed in porch that can be isolated sound wise from the remainder of the house. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked for service for six, or possibly eight, and sufficient coffee for a full week. In sum, our family of 4 adults (grand parents and parents) and 2 children had a blast.
