Wonderful

Parking Was great and the small shops around was cute.. The property itself is a 2 star hotel but I though it was at least a 3 or 3.5 star based on picture on listing but man was I wrong
Very simple but convenient if you need/want to stay in that area of Miami, for family or business matters. Cottage was clean, had the basics, and was comofrtable; but would benefit from a little maintenance or upgrade.
Room neat, clean and comfortable. Parking safe and secure. Kitchen had all necessary daily use items. Overall, excellent place to stay, neighborhood is very quiet.

When I booked the cottage it said I would have one with a garden view. This was not true. It's a great location on a bus line, and I got around quite easily without a car.

Perfectly matches pictures. Very clean and comfortable. Good area for good and easy food. Not in a busy area, it’s cutely tucked away. Only downside was the TV was very small and slow, but if you’re not planning on watching TV much, it’s a great spot!
