The amenities are nice. In terms of issues-- elevators! I don't know how there always seems to be 1 or 2 elevators down at any given moment. It has created a lot of issues for residents. There was also a point where the hot water was down for like 2+ months. Luckily I was away for most of that time otherwise I would be more upset. Getting an answer from management over email is generally pretty difficult as I imagine people are constantly writing to them. Parking is actually pretty easy despite not having assigned spots. Unfortunately there aren't many rental options in Brickell unless you want to rent from an owner which is why I ended up here. I loved my unit itself but wish they would have sorted some of the issues more quickly.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with the front desk staff at Solitair Brickell…read morehas been too disappointing to ignore. The receptionist, Lizianne, has consistently displayed some of the rudest and most dismissive customer service I have ever witnessed. On multiple occasions, I have seen her speak disrespectfully to residents and guests in the lobby. Rather than being welcoming or helpful, she often appears inconvenienced by even the simplest requests and avoids assisting people whenever possible. The front desk is the face of any apartment community. It should be staffed by someone who is courteous, professional, and genuinely interested in helping residents and visitors. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience here. Her attitude creates an uncomfortable atmosphere and leaves a terrible first impression of what is otherwise a beautiful property. Management should take these concerns seriously. One employee's repeated lack of professionalism can negatively impact the reputation of the entire community. Residents deserve to be treated with respect, and guests should feel welcomed--not dismissed or spoken to rudely. I sincerely hope management addresses this issue, because the quality of customer service at the front desk should reflect the standard of the property itself.

They stepped in, course-corrected past issues, and truly made a difference.

The loading dock can be a challenge--but honestly, that's true for most buildings in Brickell/DT Miami. I never had a single issue with packages (which is rare), and the concierge team is genuinely one of the kindest, most helpful groups I've encountered. Big thanks to the new team--you'll be missed!

Whatever you do, do not move into this building. Last August I moved into a 3 bedroom apartment…read moreafter spending 1.5 in a one bedroom and it was a disaster from the first day of my lease. The first day I noticed an odd musty/smokey smell coming from the entry which flag to management but did not hear back from them with any urgency. That evening my smoke/carbon monoxide detectors went off with no clear cause. I immediately called the 24/7 maintenance line and went down to the front desk to talk to the concierge. He initially advised we take them off the wall (a violation of our lease and against Florida law) before calling the property manager who told him it was his call on if maintenance needed to come out. With no expertise on the matter he deemed it unnecessary so I spent the next several hours calling and texting the maintenance staff because I was concerned they had been going off due to a carbon monoxide which is deadly. Finally someone came to the unit to investigate and determined we had faulty smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. Under Florida law landlords are required to ensure there are working smoke detectors in the unit at the start of a new tenancy so there's no reason we should have had a bad smoke detector in the master bedroom. The next day I received a call from the property manager, Jessica, who said staff did not handle the issue properly and anything with the smoke/carbon monoxide detectors needed to be handled with extreme urgency. This was odd because the doorman had said he spoke with her the previous night and she left the decision up to him. This poor level of service and communication between the concierge team and management unfortunately became the standard for the remainder of our lease. At one point we had issues with our AC not working properly and we had to submit 4 work orders over the course of over month for them to fix. During this time frame we had our two largest electricity bills from the system running constantly but being unable to cool the unit. The first two times they tried telling us that Nest thermostats need to be reset weekly if you have them on a schedule which makes absolutely no sense. We also had consistent issues with our downstairs neighbors blasting music well past midnight which management failed to properly address for the entirety of our lease. In the 8 months of our lease we had to call in 8 noise complaints against our downstairs neighbors. When it became clear management was not addressing the issue properly, I began videotaping the noise and Jessica had the audacity to call me and say that I was in the wrong and should not be documenting these issues and that the front desk should be handling it despite admitting that they had failed to do so up to that point. She was so out of the loop about issues going on the building she manages it was shocking. Apparently the front desk hadn't properly documented many of the prior issues which isn't shocking because when I did email Jessica and her team it would take 3-4 emails to get them to even acknowledge my complaint. Either way we were assured that they would address the issue. Of course they did not and the noise issues from our downstairs neighbors continued up through our last week in the building when there was another incident not properly documented by the front desk. They even admitted after giving the unit two lease violations they decided to give them a break and only giving the unit a warning on a night they were blasting music until 12:30 at night because "every tennant has a right to enjoy their space." If you want to live in a building where management feels every tenant has the right to blast music late into the night maybe Muze is for you. It's worth noting that all the issues started occurring when there was a change in management. It's sad that Jessica and her team have so poorly managed the building because it has so much to offer but there's no way I would recommend anyone move in with the current management team in place.

The place is very clean. The view (at least mine) is gorgeous, especially the sunsets! It has a pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, 24 hr weight room, a community room with FREE coffee, sodas and tea every day and it has a TV, pool table, great music, bar and more! The pool is big, clean and there are plenty of chairs and periodically, management throws free parties/events. There is a dog park across the street. The free metromover is just yards away and next to it is the metrorail. The Underline (a bike/walking path from Brickell to Homestead) is right next to the building. Everything is nearby and within walking distance, like restaurants, clubs, etc. There is a grocery store right across the street and a 24 hr gas station and drug store is one block away. Bike rentals are in front of the building. They have 24 hr security, concierge, and valet parking. There is covered parking for residents and guests (very important because of the rain). There is a free trolley in front of the building which travels all over Miami from 6 AM to 11 PM. There is a washer and dryer in my unit. They have free pest control and they change the A/C filter every month too. Pets are allowed. The manager Sharon, is super cool, polite and professional. Rent price is fair. Most people that live here are polite and nice (again, rare for Miami). I definitely recommend this place to live!

This building does not listen to me at all unless I complain via internet. They pray on young single women and take advantage. Also they only seem to be friendly with Spanish people. Won't be surprised if this building keeps me entire deposit. Total scammers! Plenty of upgraded places for hundreds less (just look on Zillow) with beautiful amenities and water views in Brickell. Yanelis does not respond or listen to any emails! She has asked me to come to her office several times but when I go she is not there. Also maintenance does not change my air filters or spray for bugs and my toilet in my master has not worked for over a month. All due to the building manager having the worst communication The gym has treadmills that face a blank wall and are not connected to tv or anything. Also there are no curtains for privacy. Units are super outdated and LOTS of people doing Airbnb so very unsafe and strangers constantly in and out. I've been sexually assaulted twice in the elevator by airbnb guests (when I told yanelis she dismissed me). I've tried to contact the "legal department" but never hear back from them either. Yanelis is trying to take advantage of me and raise my rent by +200 or wants me to pay 3k for month to month (this building is super outdated, you don't even need a fob to use the elevator so not even safe). When I questioned why she told me to contact the legal department. I have tried several several times and haven't heard back from anyone! Now yanelis has given me a "notice". A notice for doing what she said!? This building sucks and they don't care about anyone. This is how they treat people who have lived here 4+ year Do not move here!!!!!!! This building takes advantage of people and does fraud! Also my closets and bathroom have been prone to mold!

Dog pee in the hallways and elevators constantly and nasty chemical odors everywhere. Staff is rude and unprofessional doesn't answer the phone doesn't help with any issue.
