Rooms & Amenities
The unit is described as sleeping four to five, with two queen beds and a futon sofa, and is on the building’s second floor. Amenities include air conditioning, heating, cable TV, a balcony, and access to a shared patio overlooking Ocean Drive. An elevator serves the floor, and a crib is listed among the amenities.
Kitchen & Laundry
A full kitchen is equipped for light cooking, with a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and tea kettle; the listing also specifies cookware, dishes, and silverware. A small dining table seats four. Laundry is available in a shared coin-operated room on the first floor.
Location & Dining
The white-sand beach is across the street, while Lincoln Road and Espanola Way are a short walk away. Nearby restaurants include Oh! Mexico (about 210 m), Moshi Moshi Miami Beach (about 214 m), and Il Pastaiolo (about 517 m). Bus stops on Washington Avenue are roughly 188–430 m away.
Arrival & Parking
Check-in uses an electronic keypad, with self check-in available at any time. There is no on-site parking; paid public lots and garages are nearby, and street parking is metered. Ocean Drive is a lively entertainment area, so surrounding restaurant and club noise may be noticeable.
Best for
This condo suits beach-focused travelers and small groups who want South Beach attractions, restaurants, and nightlife within walking distance. Its beach access, kitchen, laundry, and sleeping arrangement for up to five also make it practical for families or longer stays, though the active Ocean Drive setting may not suit guests seeking quiet.
Travel tips
Several Washington Avenue bus stops are within about 200–430 m, and Miami International Airport is approximately 16 km away; the listing describes the drive as about 20 minutes. Parking is not provided at the property, so plan for a nearby paid lot or garage rather than using the building’s parking area. Expect possible street and nightlife noise, particularly given the Ocean Drive location.
What guests say
The available review excerpts praise the central location, host, patio, room arrangement, and the unit’s equipment, including its stove. One guest noted that the mattresses could use improvement. Another mentioned not finding pots or a coffee kettle and noted the absence of room service, although the listing describes cookware and a kettle; this is a self-catering condo rather than a full-service hotel.
