This is exactly what I needed! I had one night in Fort Lauderdale and wanted to get a feel for the place. There's no better spot to achieve that. John was a great host, responsive and reliable from the get-go. Everything was exactly as described. Hosts were super friendly and interesting, books were well stocked, house was a fantastic character home with great vibes, and bed was comfy. Of course it's a small bedroom in a home, so the feeling is very much like staying with an awesome aunt and uncle - it's wonderful if that's what you're looking for (I was), and John and Mermolina struck a great balance between being present and available and giving space also. It was just totally delightful. As a tourist, it was the perfect spot to soak up the locale - gorgeous garden and century home, an excellent walk to Las Olas strip and the beach. I managed to fit an absolute banner day into just a few hours, thanks in large part to their location. Highly recommend!
