Paola's garden cottage is just as wonderful as it looks in the pictures. It's the perfect space for two, and her beautiful backyard provides plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sunshine. We loved our stay here! She's a great host -- there was fresh fruit waiting for us when we arrived, and she brought us delicious homemade panna cotta one morning! She also provided great restaurant recommendations. We went to several spots, and they were all fantastic. The location is stellar. It's really convenient for finding your way around. At first, we weren't sure about staying so far from the hubbub of South Beach, but it was actually fantastic. We only wound up going down once in our entire trip and instead, spent our time exploring other parts of Miami. It was way more relaxing and lots of fun. Overall, highly recommend! Next time we come to Miami, we'll cross our fingers this place is available again.

Wonderful place to stay!

Paola was a great host! We had a nice welcome and she gave us the information to need for our stay in the cottage. The cottage was beautiful! The photos are true, everything is exactly the same!!! In the first evening was the water cold, Paola was very active to get it working and one day later was everything ok! For the rest of our 4 night stay was everything great. We had to use whatever we want (pool, garden...). The cottage is close to Miami Beach (15-20min) the international Airport (15min) or Miami Downtown (15-20min). Also you have everything you need in the area of Biscayne Park...Supermarkets, Restaurants, drugstores.... @Paola: thanks so much for everything!!! Kind Regards Katharina & Christian

Dear Paola, we enjoy very much the time we spent at your cottage. Everything was exactly as you announced. It was cozy, clean and comfortable. Above all we liked to meet you and your family. Hope to see you again. Abraços, Jussara e Helcio.

Paola was very accommodating and flexible which made check in super easy! Upon arriving to the cottage it felt like entering paradise! The pool is absolutely beautiful and the room had everything we needed. Also, having a place to park for free made such a difference on our trip!

The cozy cottage was a great find. A rental car is needed but the location is a quick drive to beaches, museums, parks and restaurants. Paola is a wonderful host who provided ideas for a rare rainy weekend. The cottage is stocked with everything you can imagine - umbrellas, poncho, bug spray, sunscreen, snacks, beach chairs, beach umbrella, dishes, cups and silverware.

The mix of ideal, perfect and amazing, really. I feel lucky we came across Paola's cottage.

I wanted a calm spring break in Miami but away from the south beach hustle and noise. And Paola's cottage was the right place. Paola is a wonderful host. Upon arriving at the cottage, there were chocolates, organic fruits and refreshments waiting for us! The backyard of her house and the cottage was welcoming and clean. What a paradise! The cottage is stocked with absolutely everything you'll ever need and more. Spent first day lazing around the pool and tiki cabana with delicious Piccolo's pizza, and the next couple of days exploring North Miami via Paola's recommendations. Oh and if you are craving ice cream, definitely make a stop for Nitrogen Ice Cream!

Amazing apartment, location and especially hosts. We got this place SUPER last minute and the hosts were incredibly accommodating and lovely. We only could stay one night but can't wait to come again. Thanks for everything!

Great hosts to a beautiful beach front condo! All the instructions, directions or anything you need to know or need Shane and his wife will provide immediately or within minutes. Overall really clean place, pretty centralized in Miami beach. And a spectacular view. Definitely recommendable

Very clean and had everything we needed on our trip. Nice to wake up in the morning and see the sunrise with the ocean front view! We'll be back.

from start to finish, everything was perfect. when i come back to miami, i will definitely check if shane and maru have a free apartment.

A cute little space! They do a great job at making you feel at home and helping with anything they can! Awesome beach access and fast valet!

Shane was a super host, always available! Fantastic view, 1 min walk to the beach, pool, gym and a efficient valet parking. We were three person and we had some relaxing and wonderful days at Shanes place! Best / Karl

Fantastic view, really clean, the apartment has multiple amenities like beach chairs, beach towels and umbrella.

The room was exactly as advertised: chic, well-appointed, and right on the beach. Shane and Maru were incredibly responsive and gracious hosts. This was my first experience with airbnb and Shane and Maru set the bar high.

Don't even doubt booking this flat! It is one of the best airbnb experiences I ever had: everything is like on the pictures, even better, everything is modern and new, it is clean, cozy, comfortable, calm. You have free valet parking! You have best view, with pelicans flying by in your window, pool, beach, small shop, tennis court, fitness room, laundry, bar and restaurant, Russian and turkish saunas - all in one building! Flat has everything you could think of from iHome charging station and telephone to tennis rackets, balls, beach chairs, umbrella, masks, etc. espresso machine! Kettle! Tea, coffee, bottled water and not only! Thanks a lot! Actually don't want to move! Will return for sure!

Shane and Maru are the best hosts ever. Their condo is absolutely amazing and beautiful! It has everything you need and more. By far this is the best place I have ever stayed!

Very good communication with hosts, easy checking in and out and all over beautiful apartment. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful time staying at Shane and Maru's place! The room was even better than the pictures and we had a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean every day. It's seriously a gift to watch the sunrise when you wake up in the morning! Shane and Maru had a list of restaurants that they recommended in the area if you are not familiar with Miami Beach. We definitely recommend staying with Shane and Maru and we will definitely stay with them again for our next vacation to Miami Beach!

The host was awesome and readily available (although I didn't have any issues). The rental was as described & the view is AMAZING!!!

Our host was short of amazing, he was very organized and had everything planned out for us which made check in and going around town very convenient. Best communication I've ever had with any host. Felt like I had Vip treatment from a Ritz Carlton.

Staying at Pure Miami Beach was perfect. The apartment is exactly as pictured--gorgeous and scenic with an uninterrupted view of the ocean. The space was clean and well kept, and easy to access. Shane and Maru were totally helpful and available for any questions I had. Can't wait to go back.

The department is as is shown by the photos, very cute and comfortable. It has everything. The location is very good, near the center, Bal Harbour and Aventura. Maru & Shane are very friendly and helpful, they solved each concern quickly.

Christian's apartment is at best place to play at the miami beach! You can arrive at the beach for 2min to get the fantastic view. If you go to miami beach, he give us some beach chair, parasol, beach ball for free. Christian is so kind and give us a good advise for the miami sightseeing. (And he is a fan of Boca Juniors!) If you stay here, I recommend to rent a car, because if you don't have it, It's hard to move to miami. If you have it, you can see the whole of miami. have a good trip!

I had a wonderful experience. The apartment was cozy & in a great location! Christian, the host, was a very nice guy. Had a wonderful time chatting with him. I will be recommending his place to friends & will try to come back myself.

Really good location. Jus about 10 mins drive from the South Beach. Beach equipment provided as well.

we had a great time in Chris's place, it is perfectly located you just cross the street and Miami beach is yours. All equipment for a perfect day at the beach is included in the place. Chris is a really nice host and really helpful we highly recommend his appartement

Wonderful house, very neat and clean.. Christian was very helpful, I wish I could have stayed for more days.. His apartment has everything that you need for a comfortable stay, and beach.. Volleyball, sunblocks, beach umbrella, beach towels, surfing board, bathing gowns, frisbee, everything that you might need for a wonderful beach experience and beach is actually just there, just get down and across the street is the beach.. Great stay, highly recommended

We had a very good time at Christian's appartment. Although we did not meet him in person everything was well organized and we always got an immediate answer to our mails. The appartment is nice, clean, well equiped and very close to the wonderful beach. All in all absolutely recomendable!

Great host, apartment, and location. Simple check-in and check out.

Great little apartment in a perfect location. Close to bus stops and lots of convenient stores and restaurants. Beach literally a 2 minute walk away. Christian was a fantastic and accomodating host! Would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful place to stay! I was in the area for awhile but looking for a space where I could get away, Teresa's place was perfect. The inside, as you can tell from the photos, is impeccably designed. Teresa met me and showed me the space, and made some great recommendations, three of which I tried while I was there. It's close enough to be walking distance to a lot of places, and is a quick drive or über to the beach. I will definitely be coming back!

I love staying at Teresa's Morningside treehouse - it's incredible! She's a very accommodating host and the spaces are very clean not to mention amazingly decorated. I've stayed in both the top and bottom of the Morningside treehouse and I love them both!

Teresa's place was amazing! It was cozy and felt like home when we were in Miami. She gave great food and drink suggestions as well as answered any questions we had. The area is very safe and is just a short drive from Miami Beach. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here and would stay here again next time we go to Miami!

We loved or short stay. Teresa was a wonderful host. She was very kind and accommodating to our needs. The property itself is gorgeous. We wish we had more time to stay.

Teresa and her husband were beyond amazing hosts. The suite was even better than the photos--quiet, private and stylish. As if the suite wasn't great enough, this neighborhood is magnificent. The neighborhood is so adorable--gorgeous houses and tree-lined streets. Super easy to get to South Beach if that is your vibe. If you are not into that scene, my boyfriend and I highly recommend hitting up the Wynwood neighborhood for some fantastic public art viewing. This was the perfect weekend away from our snowy, Brooklyn day-to-day. Ten stars for Miami, and eleven for Teresa. I'd recommend this spot 100%.

Loved My stay would Highly recommend booking with Teresa!

I would definitely recommend this place ! The room looks exactly as in the pictures, it is clean and well decorated. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. Teresa, the host and her husband are very nice and made us feel comfortable. Thank you for having us :)

We loved our stay with Teresa! The inside and the patio are as lovely as the pictures show. The location is terrific. Easy to get to all the spots you'd want to whether by driving or by Uber, plus there are plenty of good places to eat right by the house that's certainly much more relaxing and cheaper than on the beach. It was a quiet, very comfortable place to stay, and certainly one we will return to.

The place was kept very clean. Zoran attended to all our needs and made the stay comfortable!!

Zoran is a very great host. During my stay everything was perfect and exactly on time. Location is superb - just hundred meters from the nice beach and fifty meters from a lot of shops, cafes, restaurants, banks and a lot of to do. Two minutes walk to 2 public bus stop, which is going directly(about 30 minutes by bus) to Aventura Shopping Mall from one side and South Beach from another side. It is very useful. Would like next time to stay at Zoran's place! Thank you very much, Zoran!

Zoran's place was absolutely awesome. My hubby and I traveled to Miami to celebrate our 6th year wedding anniversary and wanted to try out an Airbnb spot for the first time. The condo was very close to the beach (approximately a 5 min walk) and was literally 15-25 mins away from everything (South Beach, Little Havana, airport, etc). While Zoran was away during our stay, his friend Tamara was an excellent host. She communicated very promptly and made us feel very welcomed. I give this place an A+ rating for location, style and cleanliness. The only downside was parking. There's no assigned parking. When we found free parking near the condo, as soon as we pulled out of our spot someone else was pulling in, lol. However, the parking situation did not make or break our experience. We plan to be back to Miami soon and hopefully this place is available when we do!

This place is more than perfect for a stay in miami beach. The location is perfect (the beautiful beach is right around the corner plus a Walgreens, CVS and a couple of restaurants). Free parking in front of the apt. Also the next bus stop that takes you to south beach is just a 3 min walk away (2,25$ single ride). The apartment is even bigger than it appears on the pictures. Everything is brand new and superclean. We felt very comfortable and Zoran is the best host you can wish for. Super nice guy! He welcomed us, showed us everything and even asked the next day again if we needed anything. I definitely recommend staying here!!

We were very satisfied. Everything was very clean and also Zoran was very nice & helpful. Again any time

Zoran's place was just like the pictures, clean well maintained and very comfortable. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet and close to many good restaurants. The apartment is two blocks away from the beach and there is a free trolley that takes you to South beach. Street parking can be a bit difficult but there is public parking around the corner and it's free from 7PM to 7AM. I would definitely recommend Zoran's apartment to anyone looking for a place that feels like home away from home.

We had a wonderful time at Zoran's place. He was very responsive to our questions and the apartment was clean and plenty spacious for two people. We were within easy walking distance of the beach and Zoran even provided beach chairs for us! There are plenty of restaurants and shops near the area, but it was still a quieter area than downtown or South Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The house is exactly what was advertised. The place is very clean and beautiful! I had everything to meet us on the spot! The owner was attentive I was trying to anticipate our check in and helping us with our bags at check out. He seemed always attentive to help us! It has shown to be quite reliable.

David's place was so perfect ! There are everything. Clean and quiet. David and Lynn are very nice and they're here to advise you. We loved place that we decided to extend our stay !

My boyfriend and I booked David's place for a little getaway in celebration of our 3 year anniversary. We absolutely loved staying here! It was so clean and has all basic needs. He even stocks the fridge with some drinks and had the jacuzzi preset at 104 degrees for us! We really enjoyed relaxing in the jacuzzi. You are located close to Wynwood, Miami Beach, and so many delicious restaurants(see booklet David leaves on the counter for recommendations!). I can't forget David's adorable pets who welcomed us at arrival and David's beautiful wife Lynne who was also very accommodating. Thank you both for the great hospitality you showed us. We already can't wait to visit again.

David has a wonderful space, was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great stay in Miami!

I stayed at this place with 2 other girls and I've must admit that it may be my favorite air bnb so far. David and his wife Lynne are so open and welcoming, that it felt like we were visiting old friends. They both made themselves readily available for any issues we should have, and Lynne even prepared a small guide of recommendations of places to visit nearby with personal tips. Thanks to their advice, finding delicious eating spots became easy since we came with no specific plans. The guest house was beautiful and in a very safe location. Both the bed and air mattress were spacious and comfortable. Very cool A.C. and cute kitchen with microwave and coffee maker should you decide to make your own breakfast. They even gifted us some snacks! Cheap uber ride to the airport and tourist spots (about $15 to south beach with no uber pool). They have super friendly pets that let you touch them if you're animal lover, but if you have allergies, no worries because the pets do not go into the guest house and for the most part keep to themselves. If you're looking for a cozy spot to stay where you'll be safe and comfortable, then this is for you! I look forward to my next trip to miami and staying here again.

My friends and I came to Miami for Rolling Loud Music Festival. This place was perfect because after the long days of festing, we had a clean, quiet home to come back to. David checked in on us all the time and made sure we were okay. I would deff come back. No washer and dryer tho.

The place is awesome, like a little private cottage, with a very cute neighbourhood. The place was clean and the A/C worked great. They have parking in the front so if you are renting a car, like we did, it makes it very convenient. David and his wife made the whole experience that much more special by being very welcoming and easy to talk to. They promptly responded to any messages or questions and even made several suggestions on what to do and where to go in Miami. Nice tip is if you are headed to south beach, maybe just take an uber there and back. It'll cost around $15 each way, verses parking $20-40 for a couple hours. If I ever come back I'm 100% booking this place again, it's one of my best experiences from Airbnb.

We had an amazing stay at Davids place. David and his family really welcomed us into their home and made us feel so welcome. We couldn't have been happy during our stay in Miami. We felt so at home, we didn't want to leave. The accommodation is as advertised and is a really comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The neighbourhood of El Portal is a gem of an area, very close to Wynwood and Mid-town. And as a bonus, any shops you may need are all in walking distance. Travelling to South Beach or any other major sight is easy and if you don't have your own transport, Uber is a really simple and cost effective option. David and his family went out of their way to make us feel at home and ensure we had everything we needed. They gave us great recommendations on places to go and places to eat, which made our travel planning so easy. I highly recommend staying here while in Miami. If we ever find ourselves in Miami again, we will look no further than here.

Lets just say we wish there were 10 stars. Not only was the cottage amazing, but David and Lynne we amazing hosts. The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, spacious and well maintained.The location is near to delicious restaurants, the beach, great bars, etc. After spending the whole day out, it was a delight getting back to the cottage. David and Lynne make you feel at home. My boyfriend and I will definitely book this place again. (Highly recommended)

Clean, comfortable, secluded accommodation in a lovely garden. Short distance to everything you might want to see, too. Great host, very helpful all week.

Great place, Very calm and relaxed. Nice decor. You have everything close by. Gabriel was very kind. I will definitely come back again.

Great experience. The place is nice and clean. Gabriel is very approachable.

Gabriel was a wonderful host and the place was really nice and clean. The balcony was a great place to hangout and there was plenty of space for the two of us.

The apartment is very beautiful and clean. Totally recommend it!!

The host canceled this reservation 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Gabriel and his place deserve a new higher star rating! It was easy to communicate and coordinate our trip in advance, which was great since it was our first trip with our baby. He offered to purchase a pack n play at his own cost, which was not necessary but tremendously appreciated since it meant we didn't have to lug ours with us on the flights. The apartment is very new and stylish--I instantly knew it was owned by interior designers. The wifi and cable worked well. The front balcony was great for lounging. The kitchen was very well equipped including a Nespresso for delicious coffees, a bottle of champagne, and all the basic spices you'd need for your stay. Also, laundry on site was very helpful. The location was pretty central to everywhere we wanted to go for day trips, and just around the corner from a bunch of great restaurants, grocery store, and pharmacy. I can't say enough good things about Gabriel and his place. We would definitely recommend this place, and would love to stay here again sometime.

We had the most delightful stay in the apartment. It was well appointed, the kitchen was perfect, the bedroom spacious and all beautifully decorated. The large balcony was a great place to relax, read, eat breakfast or any meal for that matter and enjoy the sunshine. This apartment is excellently located to get to all the Miami sites, i.e., beaches, museums, downtown, design district, northern beaches, etc. It is a beautiful oasis from the hussle and bussle of Miami. Our host Gabriel was gracious, helpful and very accommodating. We would definitely book this great apartment again, the next time we visit. It is truly a gem!

Convenient location

The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Excellent facilities. Didn't get to meet the hosts but it was not necessary at all. They had arranged everything before we reached and we felt at home.

The neighborhood was quiet and things were easily accessible around town. The kitchen came stocked with a few goodies and the home was well equipped with cable tv, wifi, etc. The hosts very accommodating and the bed was super cozy! Couldn't thank you enough for the last minute booking, we appreciate you and we hope that you will let us stay again! THANK YOU!

We haven't seen Cassidy but she seemed really nice. We communicate by messages and she was reactive.

If you are looking for transportation try Lyft. Did not have much luck with Uber and taxi is impossible. Beds were comfy and shower was great!

Friendly neighborhoods and great one night stand for us! We had everything we needed and Cassidy seemed to be very co-operative host!

This was a very pleasant stay. Extremely clean, prompt to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay!

Super nice house and neighborhoods, the room looks exactly like the picture! Stefan was a super nice host and thanks for giving us a fabulous experience in Miami. Highly recommend it!!!!!!

We had the most delightful stay at Stefan's beautiful home. The room was just as described, spacious, comfortable and very clean, so was the private bathroom. The location was perfect, a nice quiet neighbourhood (in the middle of a bird sanctuary!) with easy access to Downtown and Miami Beach (by car). Stefan is a wonderful host. Most welcoming, friendly, helpful and understanding. And Lily the Weimaraner is adorable! We wouldn't hesitiate to stay there again should we ever return to Miami.

This was our first Airbnb experience and it will be difficult to top! The hosts, the house, and the neighborhood were pleasant and welcoming. The room was immaculate, the bathroom was clean, and the bed was comfy. Stefan and Abraham shared great suggestions for places to see and things to do, places only locals know. Also's, Lily (their puppy) is adorable. Five stars!

Stefan was a great host, helped and informed us about the city. Also the secret spots which are not crowded all the time. The whole house was clean, room and bath as described! The garden is a little paradise with the beautiful plants and pool!

Wonderful and welcoming hosts! Place very accurately described. Very comfortable, very clean, modern and private. Neighborhood quiet and still easily accessible to Miami sights etc. with Uber.

Gracious, friendly, informative and just overall super people. Their home is spotless/very clean, lovely and comfortable. Wish we had more time to enjoy the beautiful pool and perhaps even cook a delicious dinner for the four of us, perhaps next time! I'm truly happy that a friend turned me on to AIRBNB...and even happier that our stay in El Portal was perfect! Thank you once again Stefan & Abraham for accepting/approving our request. Wishing you both every happiness and success. Love to Lilly! ️️️️️

Amazing! The house of Stefan and Abraham is clean, cozy, beautiful. The the room was clean and very confortable. Stefan ans Abraham are very nice people. We would like to come back! I will miss Lilly (their wonderfull and kind dog).

We had such a great stay at Stefan and Abraham! They are gorgeous! They live in a beautiful house and a lovingly designed garden. We felt very safe in this area. They gave us fantastic tips ( Rusty Pelican, Uber) for our journey. Unfortunately we had only two days there. We would come back any time!

Nanet responded very quickly to all my messages. All though I never met her. She was very friendly. It was very homey. And in a quiet neighborhood. Excellent restaurants within walkin distance. Enjoyed our overnight stay.

The wifi is bad if she moves it back to its original spot. Accurate communication is a tad difficult, which makes for too much time dilerberating. She addressed most of the issues and only fixed one that I brought up during my stay. Just make sure you both understand each other prior. There were other issues not mentioned, I just don't want to get it to all of it, it was already and exhausting experience...

Great place, great host... its like home! Definitely we are coming back

Great stay for my wife and I!!

Loved the place, clean, comfortable with everything I needed and more. I recommend to everybody in need of a place-like home-to stray. I can't thank enough the host for being so nice and made us feel at home. Do not think twice go ahead and book this place !

Hospitality was great.

Quiet and cozy

Lovely little cottage, complete with hammock in the front yard! Nanet is a fantastic host and truly does everything possible to make sure your stay is pleasant, including providing sheets and towels for the beach. Will definitely check to see if her place is open next time I'm in Miami!

Extremely accommodating and relaxing atmosphere. Private pool and hot tub a plus. Nice retreat from the city in the city.

Alfred's place was perfect for a few nights stay in a centralized location. It's located between Fort Lauderdale and Miami which was convenient for us, as we flew into FLL, but wanted to explore the Miami area. The hot tub and pool area were relaxing and Alfred lit the backyard area each night which was lovely to come back to and enjoy.

Great private little getaway

I enjoyed my stay in the cottage the surrounding, pool, hot tub, beautiful yard. This tranquil environment is perfect day and night, yet well located not far from markets, malls and downtown. Alfred as a host is perfect always asking if you need anything, ready to accommodate your needs. I would recommend this place for those looking for a romantic stay, those who want to feel at home with no pressures, just lay back and relax.

Alfreds place is embedded into a nice garden - big trees, squirrels, etc. One can feel right into nature - beautiful! Al is a very nice guy. We enjoyed nice conversation, but he also gave us privacy. A lot of attractive locations can be reached in a ten or fifteen minutes drive by car! Don't miss to see Wynwood!!! Thanks Al!! Hope to see you again!

I recommend this Cottage! It was a great stay!! He was very nice and helpful. He was very responsive and whatever you need, he made sure he took care of it. I would go back and stay again.

Alfred was amazing, couldn't have been a better host.

The location was perfect, 15 minute drive to Wynwood, 15 minutes into Little Haiti, 30 Minutes from Miami International Airport. My girlfriend and I had a problem with the shower head. Soon as I told Alfred he was on it, and fixed it no question asked. The pool/hot tub area was lit up with candles and soothing jazz music. There was water in the fridge, Perrier Sparkling water, Champagne, 2 bikes and locks, Queen size bed.

Calixto has a beautifully stylish home, very clean and comfortable: it is in a very quiet neighbourhood, with shops literally around the corner within easy walking distance, and is centrally located - though I would suggest a car is advisable. Calixto was a very generous and consderate host, for whom no effort would seem to be too much trouble, and a lively conversationalist. Thanks Cal.

My colleague and I rented Calixtos place in March after sifting through expensive hotels. He was so easy to communicate with and very patient as we waited to secure our plans. His home is identical to the pictures in a very quiet neighborhood. We were there for the Miami Jazz in The Gardens and his home was perfectly located to everywhere we went. His housekeeper was also very accommodating. The best part was our morning conversations over Cuban coffee. He was a wonderful host, giving as much or little, that you need. I would definitely stay again.

This was my second stay at Calixto's and it was so nice to return to his clean house and see his smiling face! Everything was just as great as before and he's still thinking of new things to make his guests even more comfortable. Thanks for a clean, quality, affordable home-away-from home when I'm in Miami!

I spent a week at Calixto's and I wish I's stay more. Calixto is a very happy and easygoing guy, and his home is quiet and clean. His two dogs are very friendly, and the Cuban atmosphere all around made me feel very comfortable. The kitchen is full and immaculate, and luckily Calixto allowed me to use everything and anything. Plenty of room in the fridge also. I really hope everytime I visit an airbnb house it'd be as friendly and comfortable as his. Great offer for the money, and my future home for any other trip to Miami.

We stayed at Calixto's over a weekend in Miami and had a fantastic time. Calixto was absolutely accomodating from the get go. We were exausted after a red eye flight, and called to see if we could potentially check in early. To our relief, he let us know that the house would be ready in an hour. Upon arrival, Calixto (and his 2 puppies) greeted us graciously into his beautiful home and took us on a tour. All the bases were covered in terms of basic amenities, but the quirkly paintings, delicious cuban coffee, and liberal amount of sunlight were a definite plus that made our time there that much more enjoyable. It was our first airbnb experience and we had no idea what to expect, but Calixto made our stay very comfortable and stress free. We couldn't have asked for more!

Excellent option in Miami! Calixto was out of the country and his maid Nora welcomed us. She was a superb host who totally made us feel welcomed and at home. She even invited us to a dinner on New Year Eve and prepared great food for us. The room, kitchen, bathroom are clean and the house is spacious. The two little dogs added to the fun of our stay. As Calixto suggested, it is better to rent a car to travel to Miami downtown. But we stayed for more than a week in Miami ( long enough to visit the city slowly) so we purchased a seven day bus pass and took the bus to the tourist places. No problem of getting around the city from his house this way, but if you stay shorter in Miami, renting a car is still a more efficient option. Highly recommend this place!

Calixto is a very good host. He was fast to answer my request. Kind and love man with a amazing home, good taste, clean place.A great place to enjoy Miami. I change my mind and enjoy a week there just because him and his home. Just book and you will see how good can be. I had the oportunity to enjoy a Valentiine party with a great group of his ffriends. I higlhly recomend Calixto home.

Calixto was our first AirBnB host, and he set the bar high! With a gorgeous collection of art, impeccably clean house, two furry co-hosts, and husband-approved homemade banana bread, Calixto made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Sharing a bathroom was never a problem, and his pups made us feel like we were at home. This is a definite for anyone who appreciates good conversation and a friendly and safe place to stay in Miami.

Vivienne is a perfect host. Very beautiful house, extremely clean and comfortable. Good bed and pillow, air conditioner and private bathroom. Beautiful location, very quiet and safe. Thank you Vivienne for your hospitality and kindness!!!

I stay here every time a I go to Miami. Its very comfortable and clean. Vivienne is a really sweet and very nice host.

Vivienne and her husband were great hosts. Never bothered us but was there if needed. Place was as advertised. Have little extras like shampoo, soap, plastics bowls and utensils, mini fridge, towels (for beach and shower), bike usage (2 bikes). She allows you to park vehicle in the driveway. Entrance to studio is through a locked metal gate then into the locked door of studio. There is a Public supermarket 5 minutes away. Nice neighborhood.

Loved staying at this place!! Very clean and comfortable. Vivienne is very kind and generous and helped with laundry as well. Would love to stay again.

Very clean, comfortable, thoughtfully appointed. Vivienne was very kind and always accommodating. We were greeted with a warm hug. Appreciate the use of washer and dryer.

My stay was just perfect. I felt very comfortable all the time, Vivienne is extremely nice! She is a kind and welcoming host. This is my second stay at her place but my first review....being new at AIRBNB i missed the review period the first time Relaxing area, very private , the bedroom is spacious and spotless, bed is comfortable, great AC a perfect spot ! I would definitely stay there again and I highly recommend it Thanks for everything!!

The room is really consistent with descriptions and photos, house located in a calm and reassuring cartier Vivienne is very kind and available for any information. I definitely recommend this accommodation if you are looking for in this area.

Our stay could not have been better. Both vivienne as her husband selflessly helped us during our days at home. They are a warm and friendly marriage; always ready and solicitous host. With resespecto room; is not only aesthetically beautiful but comfortable and spacious; It has everything you need. The house also has a fantastic park where relax after a day of hiking. Our choice of accommodation could not have been more successful and would definitely return. Vivienne Thanks for everything!

Elizabeth's place is very convenient in the Miami area . She very welcoming and helpful . Her hospitality was great!! Her price is very affordable !!! Very clean!!!

The place is great. Room with door to the pool. Host is very friendly and helpful. Had a very relaxed stay!

Great home, very clean and just a short ride away from Little Haiti, Little Havana, Biscayne and South Beach. Elizabeth was a very accommodating hostess and really opened her home. Highly recommended.

From start to finish my experience in this home was amazing! Liz is very cool and has great insight as to where to spend time in Miami as a first timer. She was also very accommodating- plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows and really respected our space. We essentially got the entire pool/bedroom to ourselves which was so cool! We came and went as we pleased and the side entrance to the backyard was very convenient. It's close enough to all of the attractions in a very nice area. The house itself is also very charming. When I come back to Miami I know who I'm booking with! 5/5 all across the board.
