Listing is not accurate:-roof top pool is shared with the Palace Bar patrons, which could essentially be anybody from the public.-the property is not ideal for families, the apartment is pretty much connected to the Palace Bar which played loud music until 1PM all nights of the week, which makes it impossible to sleep until it closes down for the night, ear plugs were provided in the nightstands...- second floor balcony was uncomfortable and had no view, plastic sheeting between the Palace Bar and the balcony area.- bathroom had three doors with frosted panes, lacking privacy I would only recommend this property for people that plan to party every night until 1PM.

Was very near to everything. Only thing was it was very noisy with construction and road work happening early in the morning.
This was a perfect property for me and my adult sons to get away for a few days. The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of the Ocean Drive district and only a few steps from the beach. The room had everything we needed for amenities, and the rooftop pool view was gorgeous. Shopping is a short walk in any direction and you can Uber Eats anything you want any time of day. As the manager discloses in the listing, it is literally right above a night club that doesn’t shut down until 1 am most nights, so I would not stay here with young children or light sleepers. Overall, a great spot!
