In 1895 Florida experienced what became known as the Great Freeze, where the temperares in Florida dipped to record lows ; at that time Henry Flagler was an extremely influential figure and Julia Tuttle had been courting him to extend his railroad down to Miami, which he had refused up to this point since his favorite Citrus trees were doing great in Palm Beach. In 1896, after the Great Freeze had devastated most of the Citrus Groves north of Fort Lauderdale, Julia Tuttle sent a small box to Henry Flagler with a note that said "Dear Henry, How does your garden grow?" and a Orange Blossom and this is how Henry Flagler decided to extend his railroad and in doing so created the city of Miami and Little Havana in particular. 1896 to us means that Miami has always been a welcoming place, whether it is weather you are seeking, different cultures, night life or simply a place where you don't feel like a tourist (because at the end of the day all of us in Miami are), this city and us in particular will welcome you with open arms. I am usually working but I am always available via messages through the app.

We are about 15 mins from everywhere, Miami Beach, MIA, Downtown and Coral Gables, this will be your perfect home base to distance from it all while staying conveniently close.

What we now call Little Havana is one of the oldest neighborhoods of the CIty of Miami; initially called Riverside for its proximity to the Miami River it became important for its proximity to Tamiami Trail (the only road from Tampa to Miami and hence the Ta-Miami name). With the large Cuban migration of the 50's it got the name of Little Havana. It is a very pedestrian friendly neighborhood and the houses all have a different unique styles, ranging from Mediterranean to Art Deco. On 8th street you will find Ball and Chain, Cuba Ocho, Tower Theater and some nice Cuban restaurants. There are also gift shops and Art Studio's along Calle Ocho. There is a free Trolley that runs on 8th street and goes all the way to Coral Gables to the west and Downtown to the East. Once in Downtown you can connect to the Metro Rail, Metro Mover or the bus system. Miami is also very ride share friendly so you will find lots of Lyft and Uber availability.
