We chose this Airbnb as it was within 15 minutes away from the Hard Rock Stadium as we attended the Formula One Miami Grand Prix last weekend. It took us almost 40 minutes to get there from the airport as it was Friday evening and there was a bit of traffic. The Airbnb is located on a busy road and it was tricky to see the number and the driveway is a bit hidden, but after we turned around we were able to find it.
The unit has a small parking lot that can accommodate a few cars and the surrounding greenery and palm trees make it feel like an escape from the busy road. The condo had everything we needed: air conditioning, hot water, small kitchen, fridge, TV couch. We’re not a fan of daylight (cool) lighting, but luckily there are dimmers so it’s not too bright.
The condo was clean. I think there are some things that were being repaired (the pocket door and outlet behind the bed), but those weren’t a big deal. There is a bathroom window that overlooks a junkyard? Parking lot. It made us a bit uneasy when showering, but luckily no peeping toms. Modern and clean bathroom was great!
The bedroom was a bit tight especially with the large sleigh bed. It took up a lot of the room and I kept bumping one walking to the right side of the bed. The bed wasn’t uncomfortable, but I probably could’ve used another pillow as they were too soft for my taste. The blackout shades were awesome and allowed us to sleep in. The road noise was sometimes loud at night, but we brought a white noise machine and that help drown out most of the noise.
Self check in with A keypad lock was great. And the doors had secure locks and there was bright lighting outside the unit. We never felt unsafe returning here in the evening or early morning.
Overall we had a pleasant stay for our short weekend in Miami. Not sure if we would stay here again as you definitely need a car to get around and it’s far from South Beach, but if you were attending the Grand Prix next year in Miami, it’s the most cost effective place to stay.
