The Samantha by Lowkl

Ein gutes Apartment für ein Miami Urlaub :)

The Location is good, closer to beaches, some cafes and shops. On the other side, condition of property and sounding are not good, no or poor customer service. We booked 2 rooms for 3kids and parents; with the specific requirement to have the room adjacent to each other or at least in the same floor, which was confirmed by the property on booking, to be on the same floor at the least. On arrival we found the rooms are as separate as it could be; one was on the first floor one corner the other one is on the 2nd floor other corner, I wasted half of my next day arguing on the phone, sending email/message, waiting for response, etc to get the rooms changed to the same floor. No one in property that could help. Comfort of the bedding and amenities are very basic. No reasonable parking facility nor instruction from the property to find a good one, I had to find one by myself about 20min walking distance that was reasonable. Surrounding of the property is dirty and not maintain, even the property is not maintained very, some doors (stairways doors) were sticky needed to bang them to open, cannot be operated by children. stairway standing area were jammed with stuff like renovation material, walkways are not maintained, residual water from the AC was running across the walkways, etc These may be apartments rentals no suitable to rented as a holiday destination.

The Samantha is a small hotel with no reception for check-in , it’s done via text message or email to your phone and given instructions for accessibility to the room reserved. The one I reserved was small but did have all the amenities, small fridge, sink, plates, cups, coffee machine and a full bathroom. Even iron and hair dryer. They also have a nice rooftop terrace w a restroom, and small ice machine. Accessing the elevator requires a code which they give you. Rooms were very clean, and only cleaned once , if you want daily cleaning, it’s a separate surcharge which we didn’t bother. Rooms have TV , just regular channels and WiFi. Beach is extremely close by, just crossing the street. Very nice beach, and you don’t have to go far. This part of Miami is very expensive though. This is good for a short stay and on a budget. Neighborhood seamed safe at night. Take the free ferry bus to get down to south beach, every 20 min it passes by.

Fui con mucho miedo por las críticas en varios portales y me sorprendió. Llegamos y nos recibió Ciro, la verdad que fue una sorpresa, muchos decían que el ingreso era complicado por qué no llegaba el código y otras cosas, pero encontrarlo a el fue genial, nos ayudó con todo, hasta nos enseñó a usar la lavadora. Si buen está en refacciones las instalaciones, como estábamos poco no molestaba. Es un lugar con mucho potencial y cuando terminen los arreglos será un 1000. Se nota que están haciendo todo para ser mejores. La ubicación es muy muy buena. Cerca de la playa y de paradas de bus. A 2 cuadras tenés parking público x 2 dólares la hora. la heladera es grande y con congelador. La habitación está bien. La terraza es hermosa. Volvería.

Bien ubicado, economico y accesible. La cocina comoda faltaban algunas cosas pero nada grave. Heladera grande y freezer. Muy conveniente. Brian nuestro host un genio! Lo mejor de la estadia. Nos dio una mano enorme con nuestras compras recibiendo los pedidos y orientandonos con horarios y lugares. Un genio! Respecto a la limpieza de la habitacion perfecto, las areas comunes podeian mejorar.
