Great Condo Great Location Great Service

Review submitted: February 13, 2013   Date of arrival: February 1, 2013

From the start of booking to the delivery of our keys to the check out the whole experience was fantastic ! Ray gave us all of the details of what to expect, while Helina was superb in helping us with everything. Finding places to buy groceries, going clubbing, best restaurants, discounts on breakfast everything was there as expected. The condo had great furniture and everything worked. It was exactly as in the video and pictures of the ad and website. Under sold and over delivered! Will return next year again.

Four adults stayed in this rental December 22-29, 2012. All had the same reaction when we walked in the rental. Disappointed the on-line pictures did not represent the condition and cleanliness of the rental. The entire rental was not clean, toilets and bathtub dripped, multiple minor repairs not maintained (tub faucet handle broken, kitchen table legs not stable, couch well passed worn, refrigerator door does not close tight to seal). Advertised in contract paperwork that 3 key fobs for building and multiple keys for room were included. Only 1 key fob and 2 room keys were provied to us us when we arrived. Strong smell of cigarette smoke. Other family members used VRBO on Ocean Drive and the rental reflected the advertised pictures and description accurately. We would not recommend this rental. Overall we learned we could have rented a much cleaner and better maintained property for the same money.

Robin - thanks for renting your apartment to us, we enjoyed our few days in the Barbizon, especially being so close to the beach. Helina was very friendly and helpful.

Good location but condo disappointing! Needs fresh paint throughout! There was poor attention to details - broken lamp in livingroom, light bulb in master closet burnt out and closet unuseable due to foldup bed stored there, closet in tiny second bedroom hard to get to, no drawers for clothes anywhere, kitchen poorly stocked with cooking basics (salt, pepper, oil, etc.) no kleenex, no bar soap in master bath, no hooks anywhere for hanging a robe, shower cap, towels, etc., no workable clock/alarm. The valet parking was a nightmare! At times we had to take a cab because there was nobody to get our car for us! This is an honest review and I hope it is helpful to the manager for future rentals.

First of all, Robin and Ray are great communicators. That is the single most important thing you want from a good condo owner and business person. Once i arrived in Miami Helina was there to greet me, and took care of our valet parking immediately. Valet parking was a HUGE plus while staying at this condo since i had to travel to West Palm and other places during my stay. The condo itself is very comfortable, and feels like home. I didn't want to leave to be honest. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean, there is a large tv to view and and nice surround sound system to listen to. Two bathrooms makes things so much better when having company over or with multiple people staying in the condo. The condo is right on Ocean Dr. blocks from everything, and right across from Luminus Park and the beach. This condo is wonderfully affordable, and in a great location. Close enough to walk to the shops, clubs and eateries on Ocean, Washington and Collins...but distanced away from the noise of SoBe when you just want to relax and grab some sleep. The building is secure, and if you have any wants, needs or questions Helina or Jennifer are available to answer your questions. I will always stay at this condo when i come to SoBe. Thank you Robin, Ray, Helina and Jennifer for making my bday weekend trip the best one i have ever had.

Robin:

Just wanted to say "Thanks" for letting us stay in 318 - great location !!
Jen was great to deal with - very friendly and accomodating. The weather was beautiful - the game not so good,
(OU Sooners lost).
If I'm back in Miami anytime soon, I'll make contact to see about availability.
