Excellent value, great location, great also for kids (not that there were a lot around though)
Pros:

This place is so cool. Luxurious place with the pool on the roof overlooking Miami buildings, and the hottub can fit 25 people. Hottub was more warm than hot - perfect for my kids! Wish I knew how much this studio costs to buy, because in addition to the coolness of the studio, the location is awesome, and it's 5 feet from the train station. 24hr McDonald's is 20 feet away. Or there is an on-site convenient store on floor 19 where the pool is - stocked with food and necessities (cereal, tide, suntan lotion, ice cream, etc). Loved the landlord - super friendly, techie with keys and texting. Wifi was fast, super clean.

Cons:

The sushi joint 1 door down is a scam. 20% already added, but they try to get away with not telling you, and the food is mini-sized sushi. Total rip off, so stay away from that sushi place. Other places to eat nearby.
