I'm in the process of moving to Fort Lauderdale for work and I've stayed in Alan's place for the last month while trying to find a more permanent apartment. I can't recommend him enough. Super accommodating and you can't beat the price for the location. Being here for a month I've been able to scope out the area pretty well. I felt safe walking to the grocery and downtown/Las Olas. If youre looking for a place to experience the surrounding nightlife/restruants on your short trip, but don't want to pay downtown prices this is the spot. Can't beat it.
