Art Gardens Hostel — Hotel in Miami

I would recommend this place for airport layovers or poor business travelers, but not for younger leasure travelers or backpacker types.

Geographically, it's in a good spot as you're not that far from the airport, major highways, or public transit. Only took me about twenty-two minutes to get to South Beach from here. :) It's in a neighborhood so I like the fact that you kinda get more of a local experience than if you were to stay in a hotel or condo. I made a great choice choosing...
