The unit is very basic, which is fine if you are not spending a lot of time in your room. It is right on the beach and has a nice pool. There are 2 double beds in the room, I would not describe them as super comfortable, but not uncomfortable either. I did not use the TV/DVD player...there was a prior review about the DVD player not working. It is very convenient to have a stove and refrigerator, and cooking materials. the bathroom is small but clean. The free valet parking is a big PLUS!! And after a bit of trouble getting on the wireless (had to go down to the lobby first to get the signal, then once I logged in and my laptop recognized it, I could log in from my room) The owner is very responsive to questions. I would stay again, you can't beat the price.

Owner response:My thanks for the review The DVD player is new, it was replaced after the review noting it was not working. Thanks again, reviews make me give better service.

Updates Needed

We stayed at this hotel to get out of cold weather of GA. Pros: The beach is perfect, the pool is great, the location is nice, and the restaurant inside the hotel has awesome food and drinks. Ask for Elvis!, Wireless unit, taxi service is quick. Cons: This condo really needs updating. The volume on the TV went out and after one day it came back on. You have to hold the handle down to flush the toilet. The ironing board is very small. The lights above the bed, only one light worked, and you had to fiddle with the switch in order for it to work correctly. It was cold one evening and we could not get the room warm. If you use T-Mobile you will not have service until you leave the building. The above unit when they take a shower, the water drips literately in the kitchen area of this unit. We had to call maintenance. The fridge doesn't get really cold.

Owner response:We thank our guests for all reviews. We work in the things within our reach. I even emailed T-Mobile asking them for service upgrade in the State of Florida.

My boyfriend and I decided to check out Miami to get out of the cold weather, and this studio was perfect for us. Nothing fancy, but exactly as listed. It was nice to have a kitchen. We went grocery shopping the first day and cooked our breakfasts & lunches in the unit, which worked out well. I wouldn't recommend using the microwave, as the inside of it seemed to be melted and rusty, but the stove and toaster worked fine. The valet guys are great and park you car at no charge. We were inclined to tip, when they were extra fast. The best part - the pool is nice right out the back and directly behind that...a beautiful beach! It is a quiet beach, which was perfect for us. The bike share stations around town were cool. We don't have anything like that in MI, so it was a treat. I rented a bike and for $5 got to ride along the beach for an hour. There are plenty of little restaurants and stores in the area and South Beach is only a few minute drive. We would highly recommend checking out Stone Crab Joe's restaurant. It was amazing. Overall a great deal and we would definately return.

Owner response:Thank you for the review and for staying in our place. A new microwave will be in the apartment by the end of next week.

The room was clean, and ready for us. The owner was very friendly. The only problem was that we couldn't see the movies we had, because the DVD player was not working. The rest was perfect. The location is excellent. The hotel is really close to a lot of fun places, very good restaurants, and obviously, the beach is just there...

Owner response:Thank you for the review and for staying in our place. A new DVD player will be in the apartment by tomorrow.

This was a great little studio with everything that I needed for the time that I stayed. The owner was pleasant and very helpful throughout the purchase process and during my stay. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family who are looking to stay in the Miami Beach area.

Es un apartamento muy cuco para pasar unos dias tranquilo disfrutando del sol, playa, piscina. Dispone de todo el equipamiento necesario, incluso toallas para la playa. Se encuentra muy bien situado para hacer buenas excursiones. Hemos estado muy agusto y sin duda si volvemos a Miami, nos alojaremos en este apartamento.

This was a great deal; all the basic necessities were provided for. Condo was just as described and literally steps away from the beach. It is in a great location 15-20 minutes away from everything in North or South Beach.
