Tina R.

Not as advertised
This is NOT a 2 bedroom house...it is a 1 bedroom guest house. There was NO double sofa bed, just a sofa that was not suitable for sleeping. The towels left much to be desired. There were no dish towels or wash cloths. No corkscrew and minimal dishes. This was a business trip for 4 women and it was extremely small. The bedroom was cute and suitable for a couple only. Top bunk was scary to climb up for us women (62-78 yo). Neighborhood was safe and very nice. Difficult to get the code to enter the property on our arrival day.

Is a shame when my guests are not satisfy , I asume they always read the description before making any reservation. The description clearly says “ the Second room is an open Den” sleeps 2 people, one on the sofa bed and One on the top bunk bed. And yes Tina is right it was not “wine opener “ around , probably one of the previous guest misplaced (I didn’t know it was mandatory to have that tool as part of the inventory) Good thing is that, Am always available (present or phone call away) for any “emergency “ even when am traveling, (like in this case that I was in Colombia) , so when Tina Calls me at 9 pm with this “EMERGENCY “ I managed to send a delivery directly from the store with 8 kitchen towels and a big Roll of paper towels at 10:45 pm it was at the door, Am sorry that the delivery guy couldn’t find any wine opener in the entire Brickel area searching at that time with stores closing, I imagine they were sold out that Weekend that was Ultra festival in Miami” In this case I always encourage people like Tina and her lovely friends, traveling with high expectations is a problem, as much as we (Vrbo Host) want to provide a 5 star service , we are Not a Hotel, if a guest needs that treatment, they should consider paying minimum $800 a night for 2 people in a Five star hotel in This Brickel área and they will be totally Satisfied! Thank you for the review Tina, I will do the necessary changes for the incoming reservations, so No one will have to pass for the same situation that you have being through!

Great Stay in Miami
The owner, Jules, was very helpful and always answered my questions. We traveled to the area for work. My boss, a co-worker and myself. On the first night the toilet in the bathroom quit filling up with water. Jules had a plumber fix it the next day. The only things we could complain about would be the water pressure and lack of outlets in the front bathroom but we were able to work around both without a problem. The outside area was beautiful and relaxing. It is close to restaurants and Publix.

Can't Beat Location
Escaped the northern winter for a great weekend in Brickell Miami. This location is perfect - it's on a quiet side street just short walking distance from bustling downtown Miami with amazing food scene. And just a short distance the other direction are some parks and even the Vizcaya museum we quiet enjoyed. If we're back, we'll definitely consider staying here again if it's available!

Cute little home to land in
This property was great for what we needed. Walking distance to Brickell + the metromover, but also quiet and easy to relax while there. We really appreciated that we could do laundry while there because it was a pretty rainy week and we didn't have to pack wet clothes. Space wise, I think this is very well suited for a couple. I was with a friend and it did get a little cramped since we weren't sharing space, but is easily doable! Overall, I highly recommend this space for your stay if you're looking to explore Miami but also get away from the noise + hustle/bustle.

A nice place to stay
We enjoyed our stay. The location is near Vizcaya, and not far from downtown Miami and Coconut Grove. It is in an ok neighborhood - always felt safe though. The property owner was responsive and nice. You may want to pick up some paper towels, cooking spray, etc. ahead of time, if you are going to be cooking. For a short stay - we were there 3 nights - it is a good choice, so I recommend it.

Not a queen bed
There were a number of problems but the one that made us mad was the claim that it had a queen bed but was only a standard full double bed. (Confirmed by the label on the top sheet not just because it was too small for us) When searching locations this would have been eliminated. Ended up sleeping in two beds. Not good for valentines. Also closet was locked so small area for clothes and hardly any drawer space. Big chunky furniture meant that the owner could not use the toilet paper holder so the rolls were just left out on top of the furniture. TV but no cable or antenna. Never got it to work except for our own Prime account. Had to contact host for Wifi code. Bottom doors on furniture under TV were kept closed by a wad of paper placed there by previous guest or host. One of the few guest towels was badly stained. Door under sink was off bottom hinge. The location was good and free parking but would rather have a bed large enough for both of us. Host seemed nice but clearly style was emphasized over functionality. We would not recommend this place until it is fixed. Plenty of room for a King bed, pieces over the toilets so the space eating pieces can be removed and toilet paper roll holders can be used. Empty out the locked closet so there is closet sufficient closet space for the guests. Add a dresser so guests can put their stuff in drawers. Connect the TV to an antenna and provide TV instructions and wifi instructions.

Wowwww clearly Dale , you have enough time to write what it seems an inspection report here, I didn’t know that you were looking to buy the property! But thank you for the report, where you didn’t put how clean, beautiful and stylish is the place. By the way you sow the sheets label but you didn’t sow the mattress that is queen , which it says on the description’s information about the place, next time I recoment you to Pay for an hotel in the area which will acomódate to your standards just for $400 dollars more per day! Thank you anyways for your review!

Cool place, 4 nights in Miami - January.
Julia is a very friendly and pleasant lady. The first impression was that the place is super clean and how beautiful vegetable is around. The location and trees around were amazing. Was very nice to take our little dog out. I felt secure to leave the car outside on the street also. I am consider to stay again here when I visit Miami. The property is close to a nice museum, also to the bridge where is Miami beach, and nice restaurants can be reached by walking 5 min or so. Thanks Julia! Gracias!

Wonderful Stay
Julia’s place was perfect for our family of four - two adults, two teenagers. Great central location for exploring Miami. A spacious and secluded retreat right in the middle of downtown Miami, walking distance from shops and restaurants of Brickell! Master bed was super comfortable. We loved the privacy of outdoor patio right outside our door. Julia was a wonderful host, always attentive to our needs and very helpful with recommendations and making us feel comfortable. Highly recommended!

A charming house, wonderful location!
Julia's guest house was perfect for the two of us and our college-aged son. The house itself is quite comfortable - with a large main bedroom and adjoining back porch. The kitchen is well stocked - but needs a coffee maker! The table is great for family meals. We didn't need a "living room" as - we were constantly on the go - going to Everglades National Park, South Beach, and Little Havana. The location is right of an expressway - a neighborhood of charm and tranquility in the middle of a maze of high-rise buildings. Julia is very kind, and her dog was often there to greet us.

We had a unplanned Christmas stay at this in-law suite and loved it. The little house is set way back from the street and feels very private. My daughter loved that the owner had a sweet dog that sometimes walked over from the main house for a visit. It’s a nice and convenient neighborhood, and Julia was a very nice and responsive host.

Charming cottage in a big city
Wir haben mit unseren Kindern im Teenager-Alter 3 Nächte in Julias Cottage verbracht. Die Unterkunft befindet sich in einer schönen Umgebung und ist gemütlich und eirklich stilvoll eingerichtet, jedoch leider etwas dunkel. Eine schöne Terrasse in einem kleinen Garten gehört zu dieser Unterkunft. Spätestens hier wird man sich bewusst, dass man sich in einer Großstadt befindet, da die Geräusche der vorbeifahrenden Züge sowie der über das Haus fliegenden Flugzeuge deutlich zu hören sind. Alles in allem hat uns die Unterkunft gut gefallen. Eine kleine Anmerkung noch für Selbstversorger: Die Geschirrausstattung (Teller/Tassen) könnte reichhaltiger sein.
