This was an older property, but jt was a good locatikn as far as access to highways. Response was good regarding questions, check in process was super easy!!
There were 3 of us women. We decided to stay as we were only going to be sleeping there. Yet, to put it concisely, our Uber driver who brought us there had fear for us. One night we heard about 8-10 gunshots (at least that's what we thought) and always multiple ambulances. If there were 1-3 men, probably no big deal. Yet, we braved it out, I guess you could say. Once inside felt ok within the barred windows yet the sheets didn't smell clean, one door would not shut to one bedroom, pieces in the woodwork missing, no shower soap... we ain't pre-madonnas... and honestly, I kinda liked staying somewhere that was a complete contrast with our convention which was in wealthy part of Miami.
This rental would be just fine were it not located so close to an I-95 exit ramp & the Miami airport...the road & overhead airplane noise were incredibly loud at times, especially at night. The neighborhood was initially disconcerting for me, but owner has taken steps to provide for renters safety; home is also located in an area of the city going thru urban renewal, so its not far from lots of good restaurants. Would have been greatly improved x1000 for me to have a working washer & dryer, as anyone visiting Miami is going to need one after spending time at the beach; owner says hes working on providing that...if its a priority for you, beware; there is a laundromat nearby but it is a huge inconvenience as a traveler. Master bedroom's bed was super comfortable. Home was clean & Wifi worked well; owner is still working on improvements. Kitchen isnt well stocked for preparing meals, so plan to eat out. Excellent Cuban restaurant (Enriquetas) & a Cuban bakery (La Especiale) located pretty close by. Home is approximately a 15 min drive from the beach (unless traffic is bad its more like 30-40), but South Beach parking is terrible so save yourself the trouble & opt for an Uber. If you dont have alot of expectations going into this rental, your stay here should be fine.
I enjoyed the house had comfy beds great water but neighbor hood was sketchy and it's right on a really loud road on top of that gun fire kept us up most of the night along with tons of loud cars and motorcycles there no sound proofing in this house.
I loved my stay at this property it was very cozy In a quiet area with access to major highways right around the corner really couldnât have asked for a better place to stay
Neighbourhood looks rough but we had no issues with the location. It's well placed for Little Havana, as well as Miami beach. Having our own rental car made it easy.
The property is clean but could do with the windows being upgraded. Noise is a bit of an issue but switching the fan on helps drown it out.
We did see a couple of cockroaches appear on our last night, so didn't have a chance to mention to the host. We reckon it is not an infestation or a major problem with the property - they come out from the drainage system.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay in Miami, using this as a base to come back to and sleep. You do get what you pay for, and this place is cheap but worked out fine for us.
Check in was easy. However upon entering the front door, there were two large cockroaches, had it not been 1230AM, we wouldnât have stayed. Place was run down, for example, it looked ok for appearance but one bedroom door was so bad it took my husband his entire body weight to close it and it creeped the entire closeâŠ.the bed sheets were stained with something red and yellow and made noises every time we moved. The other bed was hard and uncomfortable. The next morning we found a hotel and left and we were supposed to stay another night. Very disappointed
Cozy house for small family canât beat the price around Miami. The owner Daryl very friendly and helpful. Weâd stayed for a week without any problem very convenient to go around Miami close to everything. One thing I suggest if the owner can increase the water pressure for the shower would be great other than that I would recommended to anyone. Thank you Daryl
Rough neighborhood, cleanliness of property was not presentable, infestation of red ants and roaches
Infestation of giant cock roaches. No tissue, no cleaning supplies , no cable only appliance that was working was the iron, not a good place to entertain unfortunately
The property is exactly what you see in the pictures. The property manager was responsive. The neighbor is pretty desolate so a rental car is ideal. I would stay here again.
