Very clean apt & Gustavo was great! I didn't rent a car although he has a free parking spot. Beach was about mile walk which is easily doable. Winn-Dixie & CVS are less than half mile & of course the Galleria is across the street. Only down side is that there aren't sidewalks until you get to Sunrise Blvd so I didn't walk around in the area much. The water taxi picks up at the Double Tree less than half a mile which is a bonus. Be sure to check out Bonnet Mansion. Well worth $20 for 1.5hr tour. It's an oasis in the area. Great stay overall!
