Casa Coral

Value for money

Pros: Everything was great, expect when we had no hot water for a night and when it got colder outside we could not really heat the apartment. It was chilly by the morning. But the location, environment were great and the room was very clean.

Pros: Wonderful location, clean and overall a great stay! I stay here quite frequently and always have a brilliant experience.

It was ok stay for the money we paid.

Pros: The location of the property was very good, 2-3 min drive to many nice restaurants. It was a very quiet neighbourhood. There was always parking available on the street around the corner.

Cons: You could hear every step of your upstairs neighbour. There is no sound proof at all. It woke us many times during the night. The wardrobe/hanger was inside the bathroom so not ideal as it is the most humid place. I can't say it was spotless clean, could be better.

The location was great to get business done.

Pros: Location was excellent and room was cozy and clean.

Cons: The Footsteps of those in the upstairs room was too loud. Smelly Garbage bins on the exact pathway to the rooms, should be relocated in my view. Area at back to get to the room is also narrow and tight to pass through.

Satisfied with my stay

Pros: Overall, I liked my stay in Casa Coral. The host was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I was even allowed to check-in earlier, after making a request a couple of days prior. The location is good, the area seemed safe and also it’s close to the airport, which can be reached for ~25 minutes by bus. The studio was very well cleaned and was equipped with everything that you would need. I really appreciated the fact that the hosts provided packs for the kitchen (sponge, dish soap, etc) but also one for the laundry so you could was your clothes easily. Very well thought!

Cons: My room was on the first floor and as the building is old there was some problem with the humidity. There was some smell of mold that I noticed. However, kudos to the hosts as they tried fixing it using a moisture absober, which was working non-stop.

Convenient and chic

Pros: Comfortable space. Not too far from the center of Coral Gables. Easy transportation including free trolley.

Cons: Adjusting the shower was a nightmare. We could not really work it out until we left and mostly used the hand/side head. Either too hot or cold. No kettle..for us tea drinkers was a no no. Main door and gate to the property was always left open; apart from making the property looks shabby, it was not secured. We were given a door code which I believe we only had to use once as it was always open.

Fantastic

Pros: I know the area and the location was perfect for me. The property was also just what my wife and I needed.

A great alternative to a hotel, especially for longer visits

Pros: While visiting from the UK to see friends, we stayed for about 10 days in this comfortable ground-floor apartment, part of an attractive historic building. We found this location ideal for getting around without a car - it's near a stop for the trolley (free local bus service) which takes you to, for example, Coral Gable's Miracle Mile (also walkable and with excellent cafes etc) and to other public transport links. We liked having some cooking facilities to prepare breakfast and snacks; there was a Publix supermarket a short distance away for groceries. We also appreciated the availability of laundry facilities. Management provided helpful information at the beginning and end of the stay.

Cons: As is often the case with older buildings, noise insulation is limited so partying neighbours woke us up a few times, but the noise level was tolerable once we'd invested in some earplugs.

Excellent property with history, renovated well in a lovely location. Needs step change in service however.

Pros: The property was excellent in an excellent location. It is historic and has been renovated well by its owners. Well done to them.

Cons: We arrived there were no towels at all. After some dialogue via IM one of the owners brought 3 bath towels. There was no shower gel, almost no shampoo, only one half used toilet roll and no useable soap. A cushion was dirtied with breakfast cereal. The hosts/owners were overbearing with several messages about additional fees for damages, cleaning and late checkout. The service detracts significantly from what is an excellent property.

Pros: I stayed at Casa Coral for 26 days and had a great experience. The location is excellent, the hosts were very kind and responsive, and the apartment was comfortable with all the necessary facilities. Overall, a wonderful stay—I would happily return.
