Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Found north of Little Haiti, this bright and comfortable apartment is a solid option for friends and couples visiting Miami. What it lacks in decoration it makes up for in practicality, with a large living area, two cosy bedrooms, a small but suitably stocked kitchen, a shared barbeque grill, and communal laundry facilities on the premises. Though the neighbourhood of Little River is not as prominent as others in the area, you'll still have quick and easy access to the Magic City's most famous destinations, with Miami Beach only fifteen minutes away by car.

Home truths
This home is situated in an emerging neighbourhood that is less established for tourists. Advance research is recommended.
While there are no in-unit laundry facilities here, you will find communal washing machines and dryers on the premises. These are not to be used between 11am and 3pm without prior approval from your host.
Given the home's proximity to a main road, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
There’s free parking for one car in an assigned space on the driveway.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

About El Portal
Peacocks wander the streets of El Portal, a designated bird sanctuary wedged between Miami and Miami Shores that pulls you out of the city's orbit entirely. Towering oaks create pockets of deep shade, the Little River runs through the village where manatees drift past during cooler months, and the El Portal Nature Trail winds among homes that date back more than a century. Some of Miami-Dade County's oldest buildings sit quietly here – including El Portal House – giving the neighbourhood a sense of historic rootedness that's uncommon in South Florida.
