Habitat Residence

Habitat Residence offers apartment-style stays at 1700 SW 2nd Avenue, at the southern end of Brickell and about 1 km from the area's centre. Guests rate it 8.8 out of 10, and the comments are mostly about space: the apartments are large, and families find the facilities useful.

There's an outdoor pool and a fitness centre, the building is non-smoking, and pets are allowed. Valet parking is available.

Worth knowing

This is a residential-style building, not a full-service hotel, and the cons in reviews are fairly pointed: poor cleanliness, high parking fees and unhelpful responses when something goes wrong. Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. It makes sense for families or longer stays where room to spread out matters more than service; if you need a front desk you can rely on, look at a Brickell hotel instead.
