Guests receive a personal code that activates at their check-in time and deactivates at their check-out time. There is a smart lock on the entrance of the garden bedroom
THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
El Portal is the smallest municipality in Miami-Dade County less than a mile from I95 and close to Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports. It’s a short drive to beaches and the attractions and shopping in downtown Miami.
GETTING AROUND:
It’s easy to Uber or Lyft in Miami, although it's better to rent a car to get around the city. Public transportation is ok, there are bus stations a block from the Miami Pool Cottage but be prepared to spend a lot of your time waiting for and using the busses.
El Portal is a walkable quiet neighborhood - excellent for walks or runs through the beautiful treelined streets.
