***Although this place is as centrally located as it will ever get for any major big city; there are some travelers that think of Miami in terms of only the beach. If this is your case; I would sincerely recommend booking a place at the beach simply because when rated under the beach's standard for location, we will fall short of your expectations. Coral Gables is trendy, hip, classy and filled with a gracious atmosphere for all that live, work or play here. It's by far not as noisy and rowdy as the beach.***
***Please note that the only pets allowed in this property are dogs, and although there are no weight restrictions; the only dog breeds not allowed are those that are inherently violent or aggressive such as rottweillers or pit bulls, etc*** Guest access Upon receiving your ID's, you will be provided an entry code. You must then provide us with the size of the car you are bringing. We will then assign you a permanent spot for your entire stay. The parking is on the premises. There is also plenty of street parking in case your group brought more vehicles. The apartment is very centrally located and all types of transportation are close by to be able to get around easily in whatever manner you desire. Other things to note Please note that Miami is a huge urban city. It has long ago stopped being the quaint big town full of mostly cubans prior to the Mariel Exodus. There are communities from every country of South America and the Caribbean making it such a diverse, controversial city and it has become more elite than California, more artsy and foodie than New York and almost as Chic as Paris (nothing is as Chic as Paris!) You can find A N Y T H I N G in this amazing great, big town called Miami and there is truly much more to it than "the beach experience". Nevertheless, we understand that some travelers are only looking for the beach experience. In this case; we highly recommend staying at the beach, simply due to not being able to provide the beach experience; any stay in any of our apartments will fall short of your expectations. Understand that while you will get the beach experience at the beach; you will also be far from everything else, including the airport and good shopping areas.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an ironing board, and a dining table.

Wonderful location!
This apartment was exactly what my friends and I needed for our weekend trip. There were enough places for us to sleep (with the most COMFORTABLE beds - like sleeping on a cloud), and the location was ideal for our visits to the University of Miami. Annie was excellent at answering any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this unit!

Exactly as stated - lovely! And perfectly situated!
We enjoyed our stay immensely. What a perfect location. And Annie set us up with everything we needed and was completely accessible and helpful whenever we needed any info or to answer any questions. The home manual binder was full of good information and how perfect to have books available to us on the coffee table with info about what to see in Miami area. Very nice to have access to use the laundry room just around the corner too. The furniture is pretty, the kitchen just right, the bedrooms perfect. I’m not used to a soft bed, but it didn’t end up bothering my back and I slept great each night so I have no complaints. The only negative is that we have to leave Miami to go home. Thank you Annie for everything! We hope to come back again!

Convenient location & comfortable
My family & I went to Miami for University of Miami Homecoming weekend, and this place was perfectly located. Close to Miracle Mile in Coral Gables & great Cuban restaurants. We stayed the weekend and would definitely come back. Annie was very accommodating with any questions & requests. Thank you again.

terrific host and superb location
We needed a place to stay for a few nights having flown in from out of state in order to get our son off to college. We came across Annie's rental and were immediately impressed by its location, being on a quiet side street but still close to a number of superb Cuban restaurants that we able to walk to within 10 minutes.The apartment was more than adequate, well appointed, with all you'll need for a pleasant stay in Coral Gables.The television only provided Netflix, but we spent very little time in the unit, enjoying all the area had to offer during our 4 night stay. Annie was always available for any questions and quick to respond regardless of time of day. Despite being a multiple occupancy dwelling, we never heard any sounds from our neighbors, either across the hall or upstairs.The unit is ideally located within a short distance from the airport and close to Calle Ocho where we spent the afternoon exploring and enjoying the Cuban vibes of Little Havana! We would highly recommend this location to anyone needing a place to stay in Coral Gables.
