the photos of the apartment are very misleading, because, although the pictures look nice, the exterior is looking poor; it smelled like rotten fish and the neighbours of the surrounding houses were acting hostile

Very bad experience! While I tried to open the door of the apartment and it did not work after multiple attempts, the owner of the apartment refused to come up to help and said 'it is very easy'. It turned out the given code did not work. I waited for over hour at 10pm (by myself as a woman) while I tried to contact the phone number on the booking reservation, but they could not be reached outside of office hours. Then I had no other option than booking another hotel nearby to spend the night. Awful experience! When I tried to contact Booking.com about my experience, they refused to take responsibility. You would expect that Booking.com verifies the accomodations that they offer, but it turned out the opposite. I would advise you to book another apartment to save you all the trouble I went through!

Close to Miami area, friendly staff, comfortable.

It seems like and old apartment that could benefit from some renovations.
