The building is smoke-free and uses self check-in for flexible arrivals.

In-room conveniences include air conditioning and heating, a balcony/patio access, cable TV on a 54" smart TV (with streaming apps such as Netflix and Disney+), and free Wi‑Fi. A full kitchen supports light cooking with an oven/stove, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, tea kettle, and provided cookware and dishes; a washer is available via a shared coin laundry room on the first floor.

Location & What’s Nearby
The condo sits in the heart of South Beach, steps from Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road, Washington Avenue, and Española Way for shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. Several bus stops are within a short walk, including Washington Avenue & 15th Street (~190 m) and Washington Avenue & Lincoln Road (~390 m). Dining options nearby include Havana 1957 Cuban Cuisine on Española Way (~215 m), Españolita Miami (~290 m), and Il Pastaiolo (~517 m), with Miami International Airport about 16.1 km away.
Parking & Getting Around
There is no on-site parking; guests typically use paid public parking on the same block or nearby city lots/garages, with options noted on Collins Avenue, 16th Street, and 12th Street. Street parking is metered and strictly enforced in tow-away zones. Car-free travel is realistic here due to dense transit, the walkable area, and nearby bike rentals; the Freebee electric ride service is also commonly used around South Beach.
Best for
This property is best for travelers who want to be in the center of South Beach action: it’s directly on Ocean Drive with the beach a 1-minute walk away and top dining/nightlife areas (Lincoln Road and Española Way) within a few minutes. It also suits small groups or friends sharing costs, thanks to sleeping for 4–5 and a full kitchen for simple meals. Light packers who value easy logistics will appreciate self check-in, elevator access, and nearby transit stops.
Travel tips
Expect an active, lively environment on Ocean Drive; noise from nearby clubs and restaurants can be part of the experience. If you’re arriving from Miami International Airport, the 150 Airport Flyer Express bus connects toward the Washington Ave & Lincoln Road area, followed by a short walk. Skip bringing a car if possible—between walkability, buses along Washington Avenue, nearby bike rentals, and paid garages, driving and parking can be more hassle than help.
What guests say
With a very high public rating (4.8021507 from 186 reviews), this property is commonly understood as a strong-value South Beach base anchored by its Ocean Drive, across-the-street beach access and walkable proximity to Lincoln Road and Española Way. The condo-style setup—kitchen for light cooking, self check-in, and included essentials like towels and toiletries—fits travelers who prefer apartment conveniences over full-service hotels. The most notable trade-off is the setting: Ocean Drive is an active nightlife corridor, so noise can be a factor for guests seeking a quiet stay. Parking logistics are also a recurring practical consideration due to the lack of on-site parking and reliance on paid public lots and metered street parking.
