I stayed here in historic Kenwood for a month and it was great. The unit was nice and had it's own outdoor area, which was a big plus. The renter, Robert, was very nice, accommodating and communicative. It's also a great area and you have a number of cool places within walking distance. Five stars all around the board.

The Best staycation!
The Arbor Suite was the perfect, peaceful, stay. The studio was like a terrarium, with plants and foliage at every window.
Great neighborhood with people walking dogs and riding bicycles. Easy walk to nearby stores and restaurants.
The studio has many details and amenities available. Fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grill. Richard, the Host was so hospitable and gracious! He had the lights on for my late night check-in arrival.
Will be staying again and recommending to all my family and friends. Also, I had a chance to see the one bedroom next door and it’s just as charming, just slightly larger.

palm arbor is perfection!
I spent a month in Palm Arbor Suite while I was organizing my exhibition at The Dalí Museum. Palm Arbor Suite is a corner of paradise! Full of light and nature. It is like living on a perfect boat in the middle of the flora of the Gulf of Mexico. The apartment has absolutely everything you need to make you feel at home. The quality of the facilities is excellent, it looks brand new. It has two lovely little terraces in a fabulous neighborhood, close to down town. And the owner is a very nice person and always ready to answer any questions, which makes this option even better. I had an unforgettable month. Thanks a lot!!!! -Yamandú Canosa
