airbnmiami
airbnb, that beautiful, wanderlusty, black hole of the internet has dedicated a little corner to Miami and let me tell you, the search doesn't yield the sun drenched lofts of Paris or the houseboats of Barcelona. It's mostly pictures of rooms with little furniture and an unmade bed. But, there's some light in the darkness.
