Miami's Most Wish-listed Airbnbs
Go on a bike tour and take in the art deco architecture of Miami Beach, hit the luxury stores at the Bal Harbour Shops (Prada, Dior, Balmain, oh my), or flaunt your best bikini and unwind on one of the many beaches.
If you’re headed to Miami, you’re not alone: the city saw 16.5 million overnight visitors last year, according to the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. (And pretty soon you could tack on Disney World to your trip too, getting there from Miami in only a couple of hours on Richard Branson’s planned high-speed train).
Book yourself into an Airbnb to take in the sights with all the comforts of home and maybe try your hand at making the famed Cuban sandwich in your kitchen. These are the top wish-listed homes Airbnb users are itching to stay in.
Sky-high Penthouse — Brickell
This one-bedroom penthouse apartment screams Miami-cool with views of skyscrapers all around you (even from the lofted bedroom). And with pools and a gym in the building, you’ll never need (or want) to leave.

Lush Garden Hideaway — Morningside
Sip your morning coffee (Nespresso, of course) from the outdoor couch in the verdant garden of this one-bedroom, detached home — there’s even a mango tree. Inside, reclaimed wood and dark furniture lend a chic-vibe to this cozy space.
