My extended stay with Alda and her husband was perfect beyond words. They are warm and welcoming people with open hearts and open minds. I stayed with them while I attended the nearby MERP program and the location to the school was fantastic. Their home is a lovely place in a gated community that made me feel safe and happy every time I arrived home. My room was perfect for studying as the house is always quite and peaceful. They were more like parents than landlords, and I enjoyed our afternoon encounters when they arrived home from work and me from school. They are happy to accommodate and were nothing but perfect during my stay. Having come from across the nation, I couldn't have felt more at home and couldn't have asked for more during such a long period of time staying with them. They cater to students, and appreciate those that respect their home and their lifestyle. Please be respectful of their wonderful family if you decide to book here. If you are a serious student, this is the perfect place, but if you are looking for an active nightlife, try something closer to Miami. I will be sending postcards their way long after I leave my home-away from home. I rode my bicycle to school(8min) but they have room for an additional car if you are planning on driving.
