Jim (the host) made my friends and I feel very comfortable and welcome in his home. He came, introduced himself to us and gave us an overview on ft lauderdale. He told us what bars/clubs/restaurants/convenience stores were available to us and amazingly enough everything was mostly walking distance from the home. The house is a lot nicer and spacious in real life. I couldn't believe how big the house was. I couldn't have asked for more on my birthday weekend. Everything was perfect!!!! I will definitely be renting again soon
