Alda and her family are fantastic hosts. Her home is in a gated community located right off of I-75, one of the main highways in South Florida. The location makes it very easy to go to Miami or Fort Lauderdale. There are also many restaurants nearby, and the Miramar town center is only 5 minutes away.
As a guest, I prefer privacy, and Alda and her family offered me enough privacy while still communicating with me well and making me feel at home. The guest room is in a separate section of the house that is close to the front door, which offers a lot of privacy. Parking is also available at Alda's home. If I was ever running late to something, it was extremely easy to hop out of my room and into my car.
In addition, Alda's home has a full kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, oils, spices - everything you might need. It was very convenient moving here and having a room and kitchen that was already fully furnished. She also allowed me to watch TV and eat dinner with her family (Alda's cooking is amazing!). There is also a gym within the gated community. In addition to all of these amenities, Alda was always a resource when I needed something - she responds to her text messages very quickly. Again, I felt right at home.
If I ever find myself in South Florida again, I will be sure to stay with Alda and her family. Alda, thank you for hosting me during my stay in Miramar!
