Unique, clean, and quiet. Large living space with a full kitchen. Within walking distance of cool, bohemian restaurants and shops. It’s an older Florida property - well maintained, but real deal old Miami, (blocks away from an ancient Tequesta burial mound), so like a little rust here and there but nothing dirty or sticky. Nothing like a high end hotel, but I would definitely stay there again.

Not great.

Killed a roach within a few min of being there. Tv remote wouldn't fully work leaving the TV useless. Contacted Mike who said they would replace the remote the next day, no good to us we would be gone. Seen another roach later.

The property was very old than the pictures that I saw at the time of booking, bad smell at the room, homeless people around, the remote for the TV was not working, bad smell on the bathroom, the property team does not pick up any call and they don’t hear your problem. But the lady in the housekeeping department was very nice and kind.

Great little place!

We were pleased with our stay. The layout was a bit tight but was fine. The bed was very comfortable and the full kitchen was useful. We loved the back patio area, very relaxing. The parking was also convenient.
