Lot of local restaurants and stores close by. Took me like 15 minutes to walk to the pharmacy to get myself things. Quiet neighborhood. The hosts quickly responded with help to the front door since it can get stuck. Can hear others through the walls easily, other people had the other rooms and i could hear them talk. No biggie for me, just a heads up for the light sleepers. Hollywood beach is close by and Miami is half an hour away. Overall my stay was relaxing and enjoyable for me. :)
