Good as it gets!

Three weeks speed by. Our family group was in Miami for some shows of our daughter. The apartment provided the perfect setting for our comfort and ease.. very short drive to shopping, lovely morning walks around the island, and some sweet coffee houses and restaurants close by. The host was clear, responsive, and helpful. Definitely would return!!
