Being that I am originally from South Florida (West Palm Beach, to be exact), I knew exactly where Jim's location was. Many things were wonderful about the experience, but I'll keep it brief. 1) Location: if you've never been to Ft. Lauderdale, you want to be near SE 17th. From the Convention Center to restaurants, to the Airport -- everything is so close. 2)Host: Jim is friendly and very welcoming. While I was in Miami for work, my sister would enjoy the pool and relax. She told me how she had one of the most enjoyable conversations (lasted 3 hours!). He was also warm and welcoming our 2nd day here. 3)Accommodating: This is two-folds. The house is fit if you want to cook/relax/feel right at home. In this sense it's accommodating. When I needed to extend my stay on short notice, Jim immediately responded and was helpful within a few hours. Needless to say, I was able to stay in the exact same room!

Overall - this is an excellent choice for an AirBnB. Ft Lauderdale is beautiful, but rather pricey. If you want to enjoy the beach, restaurants, downtown and be rather close to all the action, I recommend Jim's hideaway.

Thanks Jim! My sister and I hope to visit sometime soon.
