This phrase summarizes my staying in the Latitude: Home sweet home! We stayed for 8 days in the best area of ??Miami, with all the facilities that are necessary for our well being. Supermarkets, pharmacies, public transport stations, good restaurants, nightlife for fun and to see beautiful people. The Latitude is a new building, very well maintained, with an infrastructure of high standard. Robert (owner) is a super helpful person, always available to assist in everything that is asked. I am sure to return soon. __________________________________________________________________ Esta frase resume minha estada no apartamento do Robert: Lar doce lar!

Lovely Condo in Brickell

Guest: Jean A.
Date of Stay: 01/28/12 Review Submitted: 04/16/12

We had a wonderful time during our 2 month stay at this condo. Everything is as described...meticulously clean, tastefully decorated and furnished, well equipped and in a great location. The condo is bright and spacious with floor to ceiling windows in the living room and bedroom, each with access to the large balcony. The views were absolutely fantastic, both day and night. We made good use of the infinity pool and hot tub on the 11th floor. This property is secure and well maintained with friendly staff. The valet parking was efficient and convenient. Having the condo cleaned every 2 weeks was a bonus. We found Robert to be very friendly and accommodating to work with.

Owner response:Thank you. My wife is happy because you mentioned the maid service. It is her thing to offer the bi-weekly maid service at no charge to our monthly paying guest. It is a free service that we offer anyone staying 1 month or longer. It is not only convenient but also keeps the condo in immaculate condition for future guest. This and the Free 24 Hour valet for monthly guest are two things that you will like here. Thanks again for mentioning that!!!

Great Condo with a Great View!

I was in town for a few weeks and the condo was just what I needed. It was located near public transportation, grocery stores, quick marts and the accommodation were what was described. If there was any issues the owner was prompt with his response. I would definitely stay there again if the chance arose.

We had a great stay at Robert's condo in Brickell. The condo was as described, it was clean and had almost everything we needed (but no scissors - which Robert is going to rectify!!). Robert showed us around and made sure everything was working before he left. The views, especially at night, were great. We used the gym (which was usually quiet, no waiting to get on a machine or the weights) and the swimming pool (often the only people in there). Generally the complex was clean and well maintained. I would recommend this condo to others. Supermarket just 5 minutes away, as was the Metromover. Thought the Brickell area was nice, had a great meal at Lou Lou's (on Tobacco Road - I think) and also Thursday pasta night at Perriconne's was great value.

Owner response:Now we have kitchen scissors!! Thank you. Many great restaurants are in the visinity. Balans for Happy Hour, Rosa Mexicana, Segafredo, P. F . Chang, Blue Martini all are within walking distance. If you like Miami History take a walk on "Calle Ocho" for great authentic Cuban food just a few blocks towards the other direction!!

An immaculate condo in the Brickell area!

Guest: gary d.
Date of Stay: 06/19/11 Review Submitted: 07/24/11

If you are looking for to stay in the Brickell area, this place should be considered by you!! Though it is certainly an apartment, the building itself feels rather like a five star hotel, as does the condo itself. The owner has spared no expense in furnishing and decorating his condo, replete with built in surround sound speakers everywhere that create theatre-like viewing experiences. As mentioned in the header, the place is immaculate, not a word to be thrown around carelessly but befitting this place. The views are outstanding with floor to ceiling glass that extent the length of the living and bedroom. The owner, Robert, was good natured, friendly and accomodating and though I had no problems in the unit, I can tell that had I any, he would have been most accessible for remedies. The location was great for me, as I was visiting a family in South Beach and the driving time between both locations is minimal. I would recommend this condo to anyone having business in the Brickell area, or anyone preferring the relative calm of Brickell to the hectic Beach (also this condo is just a few blocks off Brickell itself so is much quieter in the evenings than Brickell itself, but at the same time steps away). I considered myself to be among the former, wanting a central location not necessarily on the Beach, but close to everything. One thing that was very important to me was quiet, and during my stay here, I heard no wall to wall noise nor floor to floor noise. It was wonderfully quiet. The condo is on the Miami River and in walking distance of a strip of decent restaurants, the Oyster Bar, and a CVS and a Publix are basically across the street. Very convenient. I am trying to be fair to think of some down factors to appear balanced and in that regard can only say that parking for guests is rather difficult and that as in all of Brickell, a woman walking alone after sundown may not be advisable. Certainly, I would rate this as an excellent rental experience.

Owner response:Thank you for your stay. We hope you describing the condo accurately for future potential guest will enable us to serve many more in the future. Anyone coming to Miami for a longer stay for temporary job transfer or potential real estate opportunities will get a first hand experience of Brickell lifestyle. Convenience of 24 hour valet parking and having the maid service is an added bonus!!!

Great place to stay

Guest: Brett (UNITED STATES)
Date of Stay: 03/23/11 Review Submitted: 04/12/11

Nice place to stay, (Robert) the host is great and helpful. If you're doing/seeing something downtown or just want a base that isn't on south beach, this is it. The fold out bed in the office will only fit one person comfortably, but i found it pretty comfortable. The bed in the bedroom is very comfy too. The place is close to lots of public transport, but cabs can be a bit hard to find at times. Honestly though, you shouldn't need them. Trains are close and the free monorail is a ~10 minute walk. It's also not bad for walking. Downtown is about ~20 minutes walk away across the river. AA arena is about ~30 mins walk. Keep the walking to the daytime though, or go the long way; the most direct route to AA arena goes through some slightly dodgy areas... although admittedly we (myself and a male friend) had no problems.

We loved our visit and very much enjoyed the apartment. it is well equipped and a pleasure to be in. The landlord is extremely helpful and welcoming. I would give this apartment the highest rating. An added bonus: one of the best restaurants in Miami is within walking distance - The River Oyster Bar.

Million Dollar View

Date of Stay: 12/14/10 Review Submitted: 03/01/11

We enjoyed everything about our stay in the apartment. It had everything we needed, including a wonderfully equipped kitchen, which is really not necessary considering the abundance of restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is situated in between the Brickell neighborhood, Mary Brickell Village, and Calle Ocho. The view of skyscrapers and the Bay are spectacular day and night and with the livingroom and bedroom terrace doors open you get a wonderful breeze throughout the apartment. If you like to work out, there is a well equipped gym overlooking the Miami River, free yoga in Bayfront Park a walk or quick ride on the free “people mover”, and a favorite – DAF (dance, art, fitness) Studio on Calle Ocho with daily classes. The owner, Robert, was quite nice and accommodating. We felt that our 2 month stay at his apartment helped enhance the visit and our enjoyment of the city. Without hesitation, we would stay here again.

Miami view

The apartment is very comfortable, the building is very nice and well located, and the view is awesome. As advertised, it has all the creature comforts one would expect in a luxury building. Additionally, the building is located in a nice section of Miami, walking distance to excellent bars and restaurants, and very accessible to points north and south. The landlord is a very nice and extremely helpfull individual. I highly recommend this place.

Owner response:Thank you. It is my pleasure meeting you and I am glad we could help you with your stay at this condo.

my wife and i stayed in the condo jan. and feb. it is on the 39th floor with a spectacular daytime view of biscayne bay and an equally spectacular night view of downtown miami. it is within walking distance of many great restaurants in mary brickell village. also within walking distance are several publix supermarkets and pharmacies. easy access to the metro mover lessens the need for driving. the condo is modern and completely furnished. the building is perfectly maintained with a well trained and courteous staff. GREAT PLACE!

I lived in this apartment for the past three months and would highly recommend it. The building is very centrally located and there are several nice restaurants and boutiques within walking distance. The amenities and service are by far the best that I have experienced in corporate housing. The landlord went out of his way to make sure that I had everything I needed to be comfortable during my stay, including providing a few extra items for the kitchen. The den easily doubles as both a guest room and work space. The view from the balcony was amazing.

I have spent the last 4 months living in this unit. The views are incredible. The property is very accessible from either 95 or in-town. Miami and Ft. Lauderdale airports are convenient as well. South Beach is a 15 min. drive. Publix, CVS, Wachovia Bank and Mary Brickell Village (several restaurants) are all walking distance. I would highly recommend this unit and landlord.
