| Efficiency Rent Miami Coral Gables |
|
As I've discovered, good things do come in small packages, at least where romantic retreats are concerned. From
Pensacola to Key West, romance is in the air at Florida's lovely efficiency
rent Miami Coral Gables, where welcoming hosts will do everything they can to help you create a memorable
weekend away.
The smart bistros and boutiques we saw all over Coral Gables seemed a glowing testament to the New Miami. But, as we
passed under the red, ivy-covered awnings and then through the mahogany-and-etched-glass door of the Hotel Place St.
Michel, it was the Old World that surrounded us.
Each room at the Hotel Place St. Michel is different. Ours had an antique armoire from France, Victorian lamps and
polished wood floors. The room's wooden windows opened to the street, and a nice breeze freshened the room. On the bed
were imported chocolates.

and your companion of choice.
For dinner, we had only to head downstairs to The Restaurant Place St. Michel, long noted as one of Miami's finest
restaurants. With the food, the ambience, and the accompaniment of soft jazz piano, it was one of those evenings where we
lingered for hours.
On the next day, from our efficiency rent Miami Coral Gables, we strolled the streets of Coconut Grove, a cosmopolitan
village packed with colorful sidewalk bistros and unusual shops selling everything from antique manuscripts to gourmet
ice cream. You can get a breezy ride in a rickshaw, or a massage from a street corner masseuse. The people-watching is
legendary.
At night, from the efficiency rent Miami Coral Gables we stopped for dinner at a restaurant called Don Quixote. You enter
through the gates of a medieval castle. Once inside, you're surrounded by the gas-lit street lamps, wooden tables,
wrought-iron balconies, red-tile roofs and windmill (it even works!) of a Spanish plaza. And the food is just as authentic.
We tried the Gazpacho Don Quixote, a house specialty.
The next day, a short distance from the efficiency rent Miami Coral Gables, we spent some time at Bayside, a shopping and
dining Mecca in Miami's inner harbor. There's an eclectic mix of the elegant and the funky, complete with pushcart vendors,
musicians, and mimes. And there are waterfront-dining options ranging from a Hard Rock Café to Cuban to seafood.
Don't leave Bayside without taking a harbor cruise on one of the "Island Queen" boats. You'll pass exclusive islands with
the homes of people such as Gloria Estefan, Julio Iglesias and Sylvester Stallone. If you take the cruise on a Saturday,
you're in for a treat: you'll glide right past some of the world's most magnificent ocean liners, in port for the day.
Then spend the evening in South Beach, where the rhythms don't stop until it's morning. Head for the Van Dyke Café on
Lincoln Road, a pedestrians-only street filled with clubs, galleries, and smart restaurants. Finally, we headed back to
our efficiency rent Miami Coral Gables retreat completely satisfied with the outcome of this lovely trip which is about
to end.
