This place is definitely worth the stay, when considering the price and it’s close location (basically halfway between North Miami and Hollywood). Parking was a breeze. Checking in was a breeze. The host was kind. Her communication was prompt from the time I originally booked until I checked out. She was even nice enough to offer a full refund because Delta decided to cancel my flight 8 hours prior to departure!
That being said, there are some drawbacks (mostly minor fixes) that I did notice and would caution other fellow travelers to understand:
This is a guesthouse of typical size for homes in this area. It’s not very big. This would be ideal if you’re traveling solo or with a lover/friend and don’t anticipating having much of any company.
The Wi-Fi is unreliable. The signal is intermittent and the speed maxes out at a whopping 35Mbps. Anyone reading this likely knows that is definitely not enough bandwidth to sustain the average amount of devices people use. The tv itself is already eating much of the bandwidth before you even connect. Connecting your phone, iPad, etc., and trying to use those devices simultaneously is not going to happen lol. If you need to have a reliable work space, I would encourage you to stay elsewhere.
The sink needs to be upgraded to a more modern, “simple” one. It’s abnormally loud and the way the faucet runs makes it less than pleasurable to use.
The unit’s interior could be made better use of. For example, there is a tall, heavy mirror slumped against the wall right on the edge of the bed. Suggestion to host: Hang a thinner mirror on the wall next to the chest or where the no smoking signs are posted. Then it will be out of the way!
Washer and dryer is not included in the listing, but a full washer and dryer are fully visible as they’re located directly in We front of the unit. Perhaps the owner would allow use of this by request. I didn’t ask, but as a note taker…I did wonder why this wouldn’t be included in the listing (at least for extended stays).
The bed was painful to sleep on. If you need back support or are a side sleeper, this might not be a good idea.
**ALL IN ALL, I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for hosting, Karen!**
