This large house has a big and well-apportioned kitchen, a pleasantly comfortable bedroom with a desk for working on a laptop, and a clean and uncrowded bathroom. One load of laundry is done for you once a week (Sunday). But the best part is that the owner and long-termers have created a somewhat social atmosphere which fosters relationships between the guests, who often stay longer or return when he or she is able. This can include intelligent discussions around the dinner table, informal kitchen talk, walks together around the neighborhood, and occasional pizza at the park events. I took many walks near the Intracoastal, and the location made it easy. The owner is a true Italian from the Puglia region. Plus -- lest I forget to mention -- the reasonable price!

There is a page of rules, in order to keep the place orderly and to help people get sleep at night, so if you don't like to follow rules, you are better off elsewhere. Parking is only on the street, but space is almost always available, but one may have to walk a block at times. Most rooms have a bin for the refrigerator, so the space is limited if you are the chef type, but within reason, people find a way to make everything fit, (thank you "Door Dash" type guests).

This is a large home that has been set up to have multiple bedrooms and shared bathrooms and a large, modern, community kitchen. Marco, who hails from Italy, has done a great job to create a communal environment. The place is kept clean and orderly, there is housekeeping and laundry service once per week, so you don't have to do the laundry! The refrigerator is well partitioned, so don't worry about your food disappearing. Some even leave their food for the community when they go. There is a small 'fridge for that. There is plenty of storage space for the items that don't need refrigeration, plus, all the cookware you could ever need to create your own delightful cuisine is here for you. My room has a desk, chair, and plenty of cabinet/drawer space and lights, so I can keep everything nice and neat. There are more plugs than I needed to power my electronics. Plus, there is a TV on the wall in the room if you do not have your own iPad. Marco even has people walk with him for exercise; nearby is the intracoastal that separates West Palm and Palm Beach, so there is a beautiful walk not far away. There may be a number of people staying here, but it never seemed crowded. This turquoise home has it all -- with style -- at a fair price.

To keep the place running in an orderly fashion, one must read about a page of rules. 10 PM-7 AM are quiet hours, for example. So don't plan on cooking at 3 AM! If you are a rogue warrior who makes and lives by his own rules, go somewhere else! Also, if you don't like app-or-fingerprint-opened doors, you won't like it here. Once you get set up and used to it, it's no problem.
