Great place - close to the action without being right in the craziness of south beach. We liked taking walks down to the southern tip of Miami Beach near Smith & Wollensky’s - it’s a lot quieter there. We enjoyed brunch at the Local House two days in a row; our room was clean and spacious; and the rooftop pool was a nice getaway. I would stay here again.
