We had four people stay here with plenty of space for everyone. The place is in a great location, walkable to a lot of restaurants and right across from the beach. The music downstairs wasn't bad at all and everyone enjoyed their stay. The host was very communicative and accommodating, would definitely stay here again.
Awesome location, Right across from the beach and Miami sign. Walking distance from several restaurants and bars. Perfect Beautiful view. Nicely decorated, great space, the washer & dryer was a bonus. Pls realize it has a cooktop and not a stove. Does not have an oven nor a toaster oven. Missing a few kitchenware items needed to cook with. Other than kitchen items. This location was a win.
The location was amazing and that view of Ocean Drive was incredible! We had such a good time just people watching from the comfort of the AC. Newly remodeled. Clean and nice. The beach supplies were perfect. We didn't have dish soap, paper towels, a spare trash bag or any dish towels for dishes, so that was awkward. And their was no info sheets on the building in the room, we didn't know the access to wifi or what to do with our trash, etc. But those are minor details compared to the great location and views. And Helena, the host, was able to answer our questions. Be aware, restuarant downstairs plays music loudly late into the night. Usually turned off around 2am on Friday and Saturday night. We brought fans for white noise. Great stay, would book here again.
Our condo was clean and in a great location. Everything is walking distance and we had a view of the Miami Beach sign. Helena was very communicative and gave great recommendations during our stay. We look forward to booking again.
This is a great location, little apartment that has just about everything you would need. It is walking distance to all the action, to shopping and restaurants.
Fantastic place in a great location on South Beach. Extremely hospitable and attentive to any changes or needs that arose. The apartment is terrific- clean and comfortable Great job on the remodel! Can't wait to come back.
The location of this property was perfect for our thanksgiving break with our teens. Every night we would walk all Ocean boulevard, have dinner and drinks on different places, enjoyed beautiful sunrises and long walks by the beach. Didnât need the rental car as much as we thought! The host Helena was really sweet and attentive.
My friends and I enjoyed our time in South Beach at this great location. The communication with the host was great -- easy check in/out, secure and accessible for our multiple guests. We were only a short walk ~3 minutes to the beach. Couldn't ask for a better location. Overall would highly recommend for anyone looking for a prime location to accommodate a mid sized group in South Beach.
Dealing with Helena was first class a wonderful and friendly lady with so many great tips of places to go and eat and drink. Apartment location is fantastic could not be any better. Unfortunately the apartment is tired and needs a refresh which made the mandatory insurance fee for damage a rip off. But for four days was fine.
We had a wonderful time in Miami Beach and enjoyed our stay in the Barbizon apartment. Almost everything was as expected. The kitchen could have been a bit cleaner and the utensils could have been a bit more comprehensive. Helena, the housekeeper, however, was very helpful and took care of all our requests immediately. The often mentioned noise level from the bar downstairs was acceptable and music stopped latest at midnight. Therefore, no issue for us and the great location in the heart of Miami Beach with no distance to the beach made up for everything.
The reviews are inaccurate. This stay was unclean and highly disappointing
We were staying with family for several days and the location was ok. not the best. The overall stay was unclean and misrepresenting. The entrance and the hall ways smelled terrible. The unit was dirty. the beds were so uncomfortable. The rooms were not set up for a comfortable stay. The bathrooms were terrible and dated. I would not recommend staying here ever. THe music was loud at all hours of the morning and night. Please stay far away from this entire building. The reviews are wrong
My family of 4 (15 and 12 year old kids) stayed here in early April and had an absolute blast. The place was the perfect size for our crew and the location could not be beat. We loved the feeling of being in the heart of South Beach but in a more residential way. The place itself was a perfect size for us. Both Lucinda and Helena were incredible - from locking in the reservation with Lucinda to the personal touch of Helena being local and helping out with all of the accommodations. Lastly, the view from the place and the restaurant Jalapeño's were awesome.
Bottomline is if you want to stay in SB with the feeling like you are more of a local, this is a great place for you.
The apartment is in a perfect location for a fun weekend in south beach and is great for a group. But the downsides were only one key for a three-bedroom that sleeps six people. No bathtub as listed. No washcloths or hand towels. No soap in showers ( should be listed that guests need their own soap for shower.) We asked for an extra key and Helena (the contact) did not have one.
Our family was needing to stay one night close to the cruise ports. The towels for stained and beds were hard as a rock. Pillows were flat and thrift store quality. Faucets were dirty and poor design of main shower caused excessive amount of water to splash onto bathroom floor after each use. Overall cleanliness of propterty was poor considering a $200 cleaning fee after each use. It looks like the cleaning fee is not properly being utilized and no investment in comfort for guests. Location seems very convenient for restaurants and beach. Building is older and reflects the overall age of that part of southbeach.
