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.

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.

Main thing that surprised me was how roomy it was and how the bedroom was separated so it felt more like an apartment than a studio. It felt like home because of the decor and it was the little things that really made it special like the sealed packages of kitchen and bathroom products, the unique bathroom sink style, the modern shower fixtures and lighting and how everything looked brand new! (considering it's a 100 year old house). The patio with fan, table and wicker couch with cushions was a nice touch too. It even had a real functioning fireplace! (though I'm not sure if it's allowed to be used and it wasn't cold) This place was also well equipped with kitchenware and other useful things to use during the stay, just like a real home. The surrounding location was beautiful and quiet. I would definitely live in a place like this if I could.

I can't think of much I didn't like except maybe the trash can provided was too small but that's about it.

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!

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.

Everything was so well-organized and the owner was super friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the info brochure on the table with all the details in one place, like restaurant recommendations, the history of the property, parking info, and more. The place was also super clean and cozy.

It would’ve been great if there was parking right in front of the property, but I didn’t mind because I could easily find parking nearby (and I had a big pickup truck).

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

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.

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

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.

Location was excellent and room was cozy and clean.

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.

Big spacious rooms, very looked after and clean furniture and helpful staff who were very responsive/accomodating.

If I was to be very picky - a couple more kitchen utensils and essentials would have helped (some cooking oil / laundry detergent / etc)

I had a lovely stay at Casa Coral - the studio was fantastic, very private and I had everything I needed. It was easy to get around and explore the area without a car, there's even a free tram.

The bed was not the most comfortable.

Such a beautiful romantic and quiet place today

The patio I upgraded my room for it wasn’t accessible
