This unit is just one street off Las Olas (the Main Street for downtown Fort Lauderdale), so the location is ideal if you want to be in this area. We walked to the beach and took a bus home, so the beach is accessible. The unit is light and has a locked fence for security, though we felt the area was safe. The interior gardens are lovely and are nice if you want to sit outside or have a meal there. All appliances for cooking meals are there with an adequate kitchen. Eric was very helpful to us and responded by phone/text to any question in a quick manner.
