MER 401
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
MER 401 is a 2-bedroom apartment-style accommodation in the heart of South Beach, Miami Beach, positioned between Meridian and 5th Avenue. The unit accommodates up to 5 guests and is designed for travelers seeking a residential, self-catering alternative to a traditional hotel room. It is smoke-free and offers a modern, comfortably furnished living space with a sofa bed in the living room.
Rooms & Layout
The master suite features a queen bed, while the second bedroom offers 2 twin beds and its own private bathroom, making the layout suitable for splitting between couples, friends, or family groups. A living room with a sofa bed can accommodate an additional guest, and a private patio/balcony lets guests take in the South Beach atmosphere and breeze.
Kitchen & Laundry
The apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, allowing guests to prepare their own meals rather than rely solely on dining out. A dedicated laundry closet with a washer adds practical convenience for longer stays. A welcome kit is provided with beach towels and basic bathroom and kitchen amenities, though guests are responsible for replenishing these items themselves.
Amenities
In-unit comforts include air conditioning, heating, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and an elevator serving the building. A crib is available for travelers with infants, and paid parking can be arranged, though garage spaces are limited and must be reserved in advance. Beach access is a key feature, with the property located just 5 minutes from the beach.
Location
MER 401 sits within walking distance of South Beach's restaurants, clubs, and top attractions, making it convenient for guests who want to explore Miami's nightlife and dining scene on foot. Its position between Meridian and 5th Avenue places it in one of South Beach's most walkable corridors, close to the beach itself.
Best for
MER 401 suits small families, groups of friends, or couples traveling together who want the space and privacy of a full apartment rather than a single hotel room, thanks to its 2-bedroom layout sleeping up to 5. It's also a strong fit for travelers who value self-catering, given the fully equipped kitchen and in-unit laundry, and for those prioritizing proximity to South Beach's restaurants, nightlife, and the beach itself, all within walking distance.
Travel tips
Since garage spaces are limited and available only as a paid add-on, guests planning to drive should reserve parking in advance or consider arriving without a car and relying on walking, given the beach and attractions are within walking distance. Pack or budget for extra toiletries and kitchen supplies beyond the initial welcome kit, as guests are responsible for replenishing these during longer stays. The short 5-minute distance to the beach makes it easy to head out early to beat crowds during peak South Beach season.
