Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location! We had an amazing stay ! Would definitely stay again.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The room wasn't like the pictures at all. It was very small. I actually had to cancel my reservation for that room and stay somewhere else. On top of that when I cancelled and expressed my dislike for the room noone would answer the phone for me.
- VladimirMatas (2/5): - This was my worst experience. I tried to contact them from the beginning to cancel my reservation and they didn’t give the refund. They gave me a totally different apartment with a terrible smell and very dirty. The fridge was full of open products and when I asked the bellman he said it’s from housekeeping, that they are eating there. They never cleaned my room. The towels were very dirty. I went to their office every single day to try to cancel my reservation but the rude agent told me that it’s not possible because I’m already checked in. Every day I had a terible experience with this reservation. Friday morning another person entered the room and when I ask her what is she doing in my apartment she just closed the door without saying anything. Ac was not working and under the bed was a condom. Amazing job with this service. I complained to Expedia but no one did anything and I went to their office to get my money back but they don’t care about. They told me if I don’t like just to leave the apartment.
- Palya (6/5): - It was an excellent location. Near Citibike rack, restaurants, bars, yet quite enough for chillin.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was nice... Althoug that gave me a place that looked totally different from the one I picked out...
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I had an amazing time in Miami and the apartment was as expected. I would recommend to stay there if you are looking for somewhere afordable and steps away from every thing
- Marnyke H. (4/5): A little run down - Place looks nothing like the pictures. Although it was a little run down it was clean except for the shower walls. Basics were provided, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, towels and an iron. Issues with the gate and doors to get into the building but the property management was helpful even over the busy Memorial Day weekend. Best thing about this place was the location. Only a few blocks from Ocean Dr, right in the middle of everything. If I were to stay here again it would only be as a last resort and for the location.
- DancingQueen (2/5): Horrible experience - Was asked to sit in my car and wait for the key to the place, waited one hour. Then was taken to the place and was asked to sit outside and wait for the key, waited half an hour outside in the Miami heat. The mattress was only an inch and a half thick with springs coming through and stained, couch was stained etc. etc. etc. I highly recommend you find a different place if you’re looking to stay in Miami Beach
- Verified traveler (4/5): Paid for one thing, got something else - Absolutely disappointed with my stay; the room I booked online was not at all the room I stayed in. I had reserved to stay at the Playa Apartments on Meridian Avenue, however I stayed in an old, smelly, bug invested apartment at one of their other locations. The bathroom had a leaking, moldy roof and fruit flies everywhere, the shower head was broken allowing only sprinkles of water to pour out, making showering very tedious. The staff was also unresponsive. Upon arrival I was given a number to call if I needed any more towels, sheets etc - however whenever I texted or called the number no one responded. The only good thing about the hotel was the location - it was in south beach and everything was in walking distance. I would NEVER book with them again.
- Camilla (2/5): Don't stay here!! Save yourself the NIGHTMARE! - Lobby is not at a nearby hotel but almost on the other side of south beach. Thank God i had rented a car! When i got to the lobby, I had to wait half hour. The two staff members were super rude, one was checking another person in and the other was just talking and flirting with the other. when i got closer to desk, they told me very rudely to go take a seat. i let it slide. Then after 30 mins, the one that wasn't doing anything decided to check me in and someone else at same time. Go figure! He told me that the parking spaces listed as nearby on Expedia were not true since that whole road is tow-away zone and that if i didn't want my car towed at night i should pay $20/night to have my own private parking space right in the back of building & have peace of mind. i agreed and purchased it. they explained which of the 4 spaces was my designated space and to always have permit tag on windshield etc. Went to room, it was nothing like the photos. room is very small, not an apartment. NIGHTMARE was at night when my parking space was being used by another car. i called number they gave me many times and no answer. after hours of trying to figure out what do to, i ended up parking behind another guest's car, hoping not to get towed. left a note to knock on my door and wake me up to move it. They did at 5.00am. didn't sleep all night. next day at noon the other car was still parked in my space! I went to lobby, they were extremely rude & didn't even apologize! we left, refund? waiting
- Verified traveler (4/5): Looked nothing like the pictures. - Pictures lied, room doesn't actually look this way. It was awful, and that was the upgrade...so yeah thanks for the broken windows, dish clothes they called towels...oh and the shower without a door. Never again.
- luis (4/5): Moldy playa - The Condo was ok there is a huge mold issue in the bathroom ceiling not healthy people can get sick especially when your showering and no live tv and the WI/FI kept dropping off Roku box kept getting off line, didn’t want to be inconvenienced moving to a different hotel. Nice comfortable bed was though.
- khalil (10/5): - Great and clean place. Amazing location. And I will be back and highly would appreciate to stay here again.
- Richard S. (4/5): Great beach location, poor property maintenance - Two blocks from South Beach and near shopping and convenience stores. No car needed. The building is ok, but this unit has a terrible bathroom - broken shower, shower door, and TP roller. Bed, tv, kitchen stuff is fine. AC works. I would not accept this ground floor unit again.
- Ron (8/5): nice place - Great location for South Beach
- Verified traveler (6/5): No air conditioning - The air conditioning did not work. And the staff did not fix it after many requests
- Verified traveler (4/5): - old apartment, facility is poor, noisy in the night, can't sleep well, compared with offer info i was disappoited.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Appartement horrible - Photos mensongère, un appartement horrible avec énormément d'humidité du mal à respirer a cause de cela. Un bruit insupportable dans l'immeuble nous pouvons entendre la vie des voisins. La climatisation ne fonctionne pas.
Les photos ne sont pas du tout le reflet de l'appartement!
Je ne recommande pas du tout une arnaque monstrueuse
- Verified traveler (2/5): Ruined our Miami trip - I don’t know where to begin
My friend and I were travelling the US for 5 weeks for the first time and I am confident to say that it made Miami look terrible.
The staff are helpful in some ways but very disorganised aswell mind you they share an office with another hotel and do not look professional at all.
We booked a room and got something completely different and got told it was an “upgrade”
We got put into the “one bedroom apartment”. This apartment is in an old apartment building which had a stench lingering around, when we got to our room the smell got worse.
The window has no fly screen so we couldn’t air it out as bugs came in.
The shower was growing mold and the ceiling looked like it was about to leak.
The kitchen fridge didn’t work at all and the bedroom light didn’t either
The “bedroom” looks like it’s in a closet and the towels they provided us with had stains.
After complaining about all this the manager told us we can go to the room we orginally booked with them the following morning
After going back to the office and carrying our luggage and paying for a cab ride we get told that the room is unavailable. This hotel is the most disorganised I’ve been too in my life.
After trying to accommodate us he told us to go check out another one that was avaible which was even worse to the one we were staying in.
I would rather tell future customers to spend $100 more and look into another accomodation
- Michael (6/5): best on this place was the location - the best on this stay was the location. The room has a good size for 2 people, but smell terribel when u walk in and after 1 day showering, aircondition and sleeping horrible after u come home from the beach. 2 separate beds, on one bed u cannot sleep its so weak.
The Checkin and out is 12 blocks away !!! Horrible
Also small television with 70% spanish programs
- MARCO A S (6/5): Bom apart, estacionamento nem tanto - O apto não foi o q reservamos. Disseram q deram um upgrade, mas não percebi nenhuma vantagem. Chuveiro s/ agua quente. Reclamamos mas não arrumaram.Recepção (em outro endereço) tínhamos bom atendimento a depender do(a) recepcionista.O Sr. Luís não nos ajudou qdo pedimos orientação por conta da chegada do furacão Irma. Os outros foram ótimos.A localização é excelente, mas estacionamentos na região são caros (não é culpa do Aparts).
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The room smelled weird, and the bathroom sink was clogged
- Verified traveler (8/5): We're rocking with La Playa when we go back - Had to wait a while for the guy to come for check-in bit there were things going on so that's understandable. He was helpful, told us about local things to do, the best places to park etc, and check-in was quick. Lighting in room was a little dark, could use an additional lamp in living room and the toilet ran most of the time. Staff isn't on-site so we made due it wasn't trip ending and I've shakena handle or two before so,- We definitely plan to reserve for or next trip. The outside hallway smelled like the carpet needed to be replaced but it's a private apartment so la playa I don't believe has anything to do with that. There location alone is worth it!!
- Verified traveler (2/5): Don't do it - This place is essentially a con. The pictures you see do not provide an accurate representation of what you will experience. This was my experience - before checking in we came across another group staying in a different room in the same block of apartments saying they had taken one look and could not stay there. 'Blood on the light switches' really stood out for me.
To summarise, here is a list of things wrong with this accommodation.
- The rancid smell of mould and urine as you enter
- The dusty floor that left your feet caked with dirt if you dare take off your flip flops, obviously no mopping going on here
- The stained towels and bed sheets provided
- The absurdly loud AC machine that blows air onto your face as you sleep as it is head level. Meaning you have to choose between being deafened or being boiling hot in the middle of the night. Basically you don't sleep. And I dread to think what kind of air is being blown onto your face.
- The key provided to us did not work. The code for the door stopped working meaning we could not lock our door! The main entrances are left open for anyone to walk in.
- Thinking of using the internet, think again wifi does not work, when we asked for it to be looked at we were told someone would come - no1 came.
- office staff were sometimes abrupt and unhelpful
- there was no hot water when we arrived
It saddens me to leave this horrible review but clearly the owners do not care about providing a decent stay.
- Sarah (2/5): STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY - Where do I even begin? This place was a SCAM. What you see in the pictures, is not what you get. When we first arrived at the property it smelled like rat droppings and mold. The towels had blood stains on them, the bed sheets also had questionable stains on them. The hot water in the property did not work at all. Wifi doesn't work at all. THE KEYS WE WERE GIVEN didn't work at all. we had unbearable, sleepless nights because the "AC" vent blows air 1 cm away, and nowhere else. I honestly don't understand why this property is even being advertised. This was just a short summary of my terrible experience.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Great location just a small incident occurred. - The place where two of my friends and I stayed at was a great location! Only 3/4 blocks from ocean drive. They gave us enough towels and everything we needed. It doesn't say on the website that it includes a hairdryer and a clothing iron but it did which was a plus. HOWEVER, the fridge in the apartments wasn't working very well. The freezer part of the fridge was not working at all. Also the bathroom window wasn't able to open and no one mentioned this to us before or upon arrival. So when I tried opening the window it ended up shattering in my face and I still got charged $250 for the broken window. Still waiting for them to refund me that money because we were never told that the window was not working.
- Geraldo Magela (8/5): Excelente opção em Miami Beach! - Excelente opção em Miami Beach
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Everything okay except wifi wasn't working at all.
- Karla (2/5): Absolutely disgusting, deceiving, and awful!!! - Horrible experience. Upon arrival, the co-owner, Jason, was a complete jerk. When we tried to check-in, he provided a different address than the one we were given when making the reservation on-line. After getting dropped off by a taxi, and getting left on the street with luggage, he then texts to say sorry, you need to go to the original address. He claimed he was sending someone to pick us up, and after waiting 30 minutes outside, he sends a guy on a scooter. Really?!?! As if two adults, two suitcases, and the driver were supposed to hop on all together. When I called to complain, he says that I'm rude, can cancel my reservation since he has customers he can replace us with immediately, and hangs up on me. No customer service whatsoever. He was disrespectful and completely unprofessional. Then..guy he sends claims they lost the key to the apartment we reserved, says we could not stay at the erroneous location because the room was not cleaned (and it was an awful neighborhood), and finally puts us in an Uber to be taken to a third location. We were not given the full kitchen we reserved, there was a ceiling and fire sprinkler leak in the room daily, bathroom mirror was broken, tub was gross, bed was uncomfortable, towels smelled like bacon, microwave looked like you could get tetanus from warming your food up in there, window shades were broken, closet doors were broken, and hallway smelled musty at all times.
- Verified traveler (2/5): HORRIBLE!!!!! - This apartment looks nothing like the apartments advertised. There were no light fixtures, missing furniture, terrible smell, a non-stop beeping sound in the toilet that wouldn't stop for 4 days! Broken cabinets in the kitchen and it was overall disgusting. This turned out to be a very disappointing place to stay! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
- Brionna H. (2/5): Horrible room! - Everything about this property was terrible! There were MASSIVE holes in the floors, water mold spots on the ceilings, The bathroom tub was a filthy mess!!!!! the list just goes on and on! The contact numbers that the establishment has listed don't work!!! or maybe no one answers them!!! We don't recommend this place to anyone!!!!!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not what it seems!! - It was not what the pictures shows! The tried hard to replicate the nice rooms it shows but it smelled old almost inside of the room. I'm not sure if it was the old AC until or what but my friend immediately walked in and said it smells like dead rat!
- sofia (2/5): Solo hemos pasado una noche ya que había ratas - Las instalaciones viejas y la limpieza lamentable, lo peor ha sido ser despertados en medio de la noche por ratas.
5 estrellas a Expedia por habernos reubicados. Pero ese piso tiene que salir del mercado.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff needs to be more attentive to the customers! Called them couple of days and they never returned my call! Also the parking pass they were way over charging!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bra läge och trevlig lägenhet - Fin lägenhet med mycket bra läge. Ingen städning eller byten av handdukar kan vara bra att känna till. Trevligt personal som tog emot på kontoret och körde oss till lägenheten som låg en bit bort. Trevligt område, Rekomenderas!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Barato, bem localizado, mal conservado. - A chegada no quarto foi bem decepcionante. Imaginávamos algo parecido com as fotos, mas não tem nada a ver com as imagens.
- @stylesbylexx (6/5): If turn up is life then go for it - The actuall room that we stayed it looked nothing like where we thought we were going to stay . I went with three friends so the space was fine. There was little lighting and only two mirrors which could have been an issue . I travel to Miami often and I am never in the room so I wasn't tripping . Our bed broke which was annoying but we came home turnt every night so we went with it . Overall I enjoyed my trip , I made the best out of the space . Don't get confused , the room wasn't bad , it was IKEA furnished , great location , nice size studio .
- Nickolas (8/5): The Not So Great Service - Great place if you're not trying to spend so much on a stay. Rooms were okay but you get what you pay for, service is horrible, and parking is even worse, they wouldn't even let me park in the rear of the house, but they do give you an option to pay 20$ a day to register your car for a temporary stay on the street. All in all it was ok, I'll give it a 2.5 out of 5. Remember you get what you pay for.
- Verified traveler (6/5): You get what you pay for smh - 1. They take no deposit, BUT their parking is $25 a day (they do not inform you of this till you get there) 2. Had to run around town to get the key 3. Couldn't get in touch with the front office for WiFi info after calling and leaving messages, they have info for WiFi posted on the door but its outdated 4. This Euclid Ave IS NOT the address you stay at, they give you the real address when you get there smh OVERALL: It was just, meh Hope this review encourages them to do better.
- Caroline (10/5): - Very clean, highly recommend it
- Jeremiah L. (6/5): Great Location, Good Communication, Easy Stay - Location is great. Communication with Booking manager was good and easy. Apt is decent. Great working AC. Not a whole lot of kitchen amenities , so just a heads up. Quite location and easy to access shops and beach. Water takes a while to warm up also.
Overall good stay and would recommend.
- seba (4/5): It's practice - It's a practice place to stay but the don't supply u amenities or toilet paper.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Never again - I checked out when I checked it. Orbitz should be ashamed to recommend such a horrible place. Also Orbitz did nothing to help. Orbitz was rude as well. The hotel was nasty and unsafe..
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great Stay - Great stay, very convenient and easy accessible to the beach.
- Kara (8/5): great location, simple accomodation, good price - Great location and helpful staff. Check in is a little difficult as you have to call them when you arrive and they did not answer (make sure your phone can make US calls when you land). There is no check in desk so they need to meet you at the apartment. That was quite stressful. They also do not give you the correct address of where you were staying, it was only 1 block away however. Really clean and nice apartment in perfect location if you are looking for beach and clubs. They were really helpful in letting us keep our bags in their office on Lincoln Road after check out.
- Kevin (8/5): I'll stay there again - It was conveniently located, close the businesses and convention center.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Got what i paid for - The room was very nice, and price was respective i guess. These other reviews, i mean, if you want extremely nice rooms you need to pay the price. Dont expect gold when you pay the price of silver.
i think the apartment was perfect
- Lisa (2/5): Don't stay here. ever. ever - worst stay ever, we booked 2 nights and only stayed one, no clean, no comfortable. really really bad. please don't stay here
- Verified traveler (2/5): Dirty - Dirty head board dirty couch, not enough cooking facilities considering it's an apartment. We found a cockroach scurrying across the room. Barking dogs in the early hours of the morning. This place nearly ruined our holiday.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The hotel was good not great but it had a kitchen which is what I was looking for
