This home served it's purpose but I would not stay again.
Upon arrival, the neighborhood looked questionable. The check-in process was very easy and Yoni's communication was superb! We had 6 adults in our group and were led to believe it slept 6. There are 2 queen beds in the bedrooms, which gave us a place to lay our heads, but offered zero comfort. The futon, which we expected to sleep 2 people, was leather, uneven when down, and not suitable for 2 people, let alone one. They ended up laying with half their bodies on the futon and half in the chair. The door code was easy to use. The outside space has seating in a shared space with the other 2 homes in the tri-plex, which was fine and allowed us to converse with the neighbors. The home is gated and has tons of security cameras located around the building.
The location is pretty sketchy!! The first night there, we sat outside and heard 4 gunshots down the street. The second day, there were about 5 or 6 police vehicles directly across the street to the left, who came to arrest a 7 or 8 year old child. And Sunday night, there were more gunshots down the street. We were a bit paranoid but did not feel as if we were in danger at any point. The house sits at the end of the street, next to train tracks and a church. They were only vloud if you sit outside but did not bother us. The train didn't run often and when it did it went by quickly. There is a liquor store, open late, a block over, in walking distance. Hollywood Beach is literally 10 minutes away and our Lyft/Uber cost about $8-10 in the morning and maybe a few dollars more during the afternoon/ night. There are 2 chairs, an umbrella and 2 beach towels that we appreciated having. The kitchen could have been cleaned better but it was stocked with a few useful items. Again, we enjoyed our stay for the most part, but i felt these things needed to be noted. If you plan to visit Miami multiple times, i highly suggest renting a car. Uber and Lyft get expensive.
