Marci is a wonderful host and her place is great! She communicates clear instructions and does not overwhelm you with rules. She is responsive. While convenient to the Broward Performing Arts Center and to downtown, the commercial strip near the house was a little dicey. I had hoped to meet locals at a nearby bar and nothing near by was suitable. A downtown location will feel safer. However, in that event you will likely be in a high rise. The Arts Center is very close and there is a nice dining/entertainment area around it. Las Olas Boulevard the main shopping boulevard is downtown and a reasonable distance from the house. It is not walkable though. Marci made helpful suggestions for shopping.
