Best for
This studio is best for independent travelers or couples who want a self-catering base in Coral Gables, with a full kitchen setup (microwave and oven/stove) and in-room climate control. It also suits guests who value character and setting, since it’s located in a renovated 1927 historic landmark house. Travelers who plan to use transit will appreciate the nearby bus stops within a few minutes’ walk and the easy access to major Miami areas and the airport.
Travel tips
Free street parking is available about half a block away, but guests are instructed not to park along the house’s block.

What guests say
Reviews highlight the appeal of staying in a historic 1927 Coral Gables house with notable character and a comfortable, well-decorated studio layout. Guests commonly mention the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen, Wi‑Fi, and an easy parking arrangement on nearby streets. Location feedback is mixed: some appreciate access to surrounding Miami areas and transit, while at least one guest felt it was too far from the city center. Negative feedback includes a serious cleanliness/pest complaint (reports of insects and a lack of effective resolution), which stands out against otherwise positive notes about the space.
