AirBnB

[pamkev]

Has anyone used AirBnb to stay in Ft Lauderdale. We will be sailing next Nov on a Monday and just saw it's boat show week.  I was planning on coming in earlier now rethinking that idea as hotel rates will be high. I'm thinking so will airbnb.  I would like to stay near the cruise port if possible. We usually stay at the Hyatt Place 17th st. I already called them and they said they are booked full for next year at that time.

 

I thought about flying into Miami and getting a shuttle to take us to the port on that Monday. Would that be a better plan?

 

Thanks for any help

Perhaps stay south of Fort Lauderdale (not MIami) and taxi or Uber to the port.

Look at hotels in Plantation, a nice suburb west of Fort Lauderdale.

 

Regarding AirBnbs in south Florida, just do a search on this board and you will see that many locals (including me) caution short term (less than 3 months) renters of condos since many, if not most, condo buildings have severe (and enforced) restrictions on short term rentals.

Thanks we booked the Wyndham near the Airport/Cruise port if we can find something better we will. It's refundable up until the day before we come in.

Be careful in that neighborhood after dark......

Most locals will tell you that AirBnB is a big scam farm down here.
