Great little place!

We were pleased with our stay. The layout was a bit tight but was fine. The bed was very comfortable and the full kitchen was useful. We loved the back patio area, very relaxing. The parking was also convenient.

The cottages were nice and secure … the courtyard was so very pretty. Loved that you had a back door right to the courtyard. Also loved that there were laundry facilities available

Gino

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Unique, clean, and quiet. Large living space with a full kitchen. Within walking distance of cool, bohemian restaurants and shops. It’s an older Florida property - well maintained, but real deal old Miami, (blocks away from an ancient Tequesta burial mound), so like a little rust here and there but nothing dirty or sticky. Nothing like a high end hotel, but I would definitely stay there again.

Excellent place!

Excellent stay! Room was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with utensils and cookware you need, and the area is safe. I really loved my stay there. Communication was great! Great instructions on exactly how to get to property and what to expect. Property is gated in too which is great! Parking available.
