Valerie's place was absolutely perfect for my mom and I to get away to Florida for a few days.
We had actually booked another Airbnb that ended up getting overrun with college students. I contacted Valerie early the next day after arriving in Ft. Lauderdale and she was very quick to respond and accommodate us. She let us check in early since we already had purchased groceries and we didn't want them to spoil while we were at the beach.
The space it's self is modern and clean. It is a room in her house, but you have your own private entrance. The room has all you need, a small fridge, tea kettle, and Valerie was kind enough to leave some waters, snacks, tea, coffee, etc.
The property is right on the inter-coastal, and you can sit by the water and watch the fish jump. The pool is also lovely.
Valerie and her husband were beyond gracious hosts. They opened our wine bottle for us, offered us wine glasses, plates and silverware, and use of their grill. On Saturday morning Valerie offered to cook us breakfast, and even let us check out late and hang by the pool until it was time to leave for our flight. She checked in with us on the AC temperature and made sure we were comfortable through out our stay.
At the same time, she also gave us our privacy other than checking in to make sure we were ok.
There are tons of bars, restaurants, shopping, etc. located within a few miles. The beach is a few miles away, and UBER is super easy to get.
Overall, I would recommend Valerie's place to anyone looking for a quiet space in the Ft. Lauderdale area.
