Topaz Suite

Everything was fine. I would suggest having hangers, a closet with no hangers in that tiny space is a challenge. The internet was not very good. It was very clean and convient.

Quiet and very clean. Nice quality and amenities.

Awesome service very clean and great location ! Will be coming back!

Unit is small and the patio shown is smaller then the look. rough area around but host was great and it’s okay for 1-2 people max

Even before we got to our property, David called us letting us know that the property wasn't available on time. Our arrival was delayed, as the unit was not properly cleaned prior to our arrival. David also entered our unit with permission on two separated occasions. The last issue we had is that David evicted my boyfriend and I at 12 a.m. because he accidentally doubled booked the unit. We were supposed to leave on Friday march 17, but we were forced to leave at midnight, ten hours prior to our scheduled check-out time. Not only were we forced to leave our unit in the middle of the night, he is now withholding our deposit. This has been a very stressful situation which has resulted in the police and my financial institution getting involved. The actual unit is not great. It's very small and tight, and the bathroom door cannot be closed and there was plumbing issues. To sum up, David is basically trying to scam us out of our deposit. Oh and he did send me an email confirming that he will be giving us back or deposit. This was not the case. If you want honesty and security DO NOT rent this unit. I still don't have my deposit, two weeks after the fact. I'm still dealing with vrbo, the police and The Toronto Star.

We visited Miami for 7 days and had a pleasant stay for the whole time. The Studio is a good choice if you are not planning the typical beach-vacation, but if you want to do day trips. If you rent a car, this is a great place to stay. You can park right in front of your house, no stressful searching for a parking lot. It's 2minutes to Biscayne Blvd. From this main road you can easily reach every spot you want to reach. The Studio itself is clean, well equipped and has everything you might need (Air conditioning,towels, wifi etc.). We haven't been at home a lot, so the size of the studio was okay for us. If you want some more space, look for the second studio at this address. David had shown us the second one, and it's beautiful. By the way, David is the reason for the fifth star. Great service, easy communication and a big help to find the good stuff to do in Miami. He's a good guy.

We stayed for a week in this lovely studio and were very pleased with it. We had a rental car during our stay, and for us the location of this studio was perfect. We were able to go north and south easily via us-1, which doesn't have tolls. During our stay we visited Everglades, Key West and BB&T Center quite easily. The host, David was very nice and helpful during our stay, and gave us very nice tips where to visit. Studio was clean and comfortable and there were lots of towels and other amenities. We enjoyed our stay very much! -Emma & Sanni-

The apartment was well equipped and very comfortable. David made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. The location is great - right near shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and easy access to the highways. David is a great host and goes above and beyond to make his guests comfortable. I highly recommend this apartment if you are looking for a place to stay in North Miami.

The Studio is well maintained, pretty organized and cozy, it's pretty nice and more than you can ask for, the owner is a really nice guy and really helpful, i enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this place and happy to get the chance to be his friend

We stayed a week (from 5/18-5/25/16) in David's studio and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive place that is just a short distance from all that Miami and Miami Beach have to offer. It is located right off US Route 1 in the town of North Miami Beach, which is a few miles north of Miami and south of Aventura and Ft Lauderdale. Although very small, the studio is carefully laid out and thoughtfully furnished to make it very comfortable. There is also a small outside patio with table and chairs, where we could eat breakfast & snacks or just sit and read in partial shade. David is a great host! He checked in on us a number of times during our stay and was readily available if we had questions or needed anything. Parts of the surrounding location are older/dated trailer homes, but improving (many newer shopping malls on Route 1 and a planned upscale condo complex close by). Also, be aware that there are no beaches within walking distance if that is important for you (it wasn't for us), although there are nearby beaches on the other side of the Intracoastal Waterway and a short drive south to Miami Beach itself. There are a number of parks nearby, as well. David has a larger vacation rental on the other side of the same house that is also reasonably priced (if available), for anyone looking for a bit more space. All in all, we found the cozy studio to be perfect for a couple wanting a base from which to explore Miami/Miami Beach.
