What a pleasant surprise! My husband and I usually book places with at least ten great reviews. We took a chance on this one and are so glad we did. The decor is lovely, high-end, and seemingly brand new. We liked the bed so much we pulled the sheets off to check the brand--a top of the line Beauty Rest. Our son, who is 6'3" and 220 pounds, slept on the sleeper couch--it pulls out easily, and the seat becomes part of the bed, with no bars. He found it incredibly comfortable, which is a first for him in all the years we've been traveling. Didn't hurt that the TV in his "room" looked to be a 50 inch. :) The kitchen was well equipped, with granite counter tops and everything we needed. Sheets and towels were qualityand all the extra touches were there too. Bravo to the host. Now, on to the external stuff: The place is actually a spacious one bedroom in a 4-plex, with its own little yard and parking right in front. Didn't hear a peep out of the neighbors. The neighborhood is upscale--very expensive homes and townhouses are literally next door, with a few small places mixed in. We walked to downtown South Miami for an outside breakfast at a what is apparently an old Miami hang-out, Deli Lane, and later walked to a great dinner at Whisk (shrimp and grits, yum) and then Whip and Dip (homemade ice cream). The town reminded me of Brentwood where I once lived. Looked like there were maybe 20 spas and 50 restaurants/bars within a 15 block area--some casual/cheap and some higher end. Our son will be at UM for at least three more years. We looked at neighborhoods and nearby hotels when we moved him down. Hotel choices in the area are awful, and the safety of the nearby neighborhoods vary greatly So glad we found this place so close to his dorm in the perfect hood. We will be back...
