Location & Attractions
Lummus Park and the beach are across the street, and the Art Deco Historic District is steps away. Espanola Way is about a 5-minute walk and The Wolfsonian–FIU Museum about 10 minutes. South Pointe Park & Pier is about 15 minutes on foot, and Lincoln Road Mall is about a 20-minute walk or 10-minute drive.
Getting Around
Bus stops are close, including one at Walgreens on Jefferson Ave (100m) and stops along Washington Avenue at 5th and 7th Streets (about 190–230m). The air-conditioned South Beach Local shuttle runs every 10–15 minutes. Miami International Airport is about 16 km away and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport about 33 km.
Best for
Best for groups or families of up to 6–7 who want a self-catering base right on Ocean Drive, with a full kitchen, three queen-bedded rooms and two bathrooms. It also suits visitors who want to reach the beach, Art Deco district, restaurants and nightlife on foot without a car. It is less suited to anyone who needs a quiet street, since Ocean Drive can be noisy.
Travel tips
The elevator was scheduled to be out of service from October 13 to November 3 for modernization, so the 2nd-floor unit is reachable by stairs only during that period. Deliveries and packages cannot be accepted or stored at the property. The South Beach Local shuttle runs Monday–Saturday 7:45 AM–1:00 AM and Sundays and holidays 10:00 AM–1:00 AM. Expect street noise from restaurants, music and construction.
What guests say
The one available review excerpt is positive. The guest praised the location, which fits with the property's position across from the beach on Ocean Drive.

The host's own notes mention street noise on Ocean Drive.
