The hostel is in a perfect location, just a block from the beach, 2 blocks to the main shopping strip and 1 block from the main bars. South beach is what is known as the ärt deco area as all the they are mostly buildings of that style, its really fiunky and you feel like youve stepped back in time to the 50s, although there are loads of lambos hummers, ferraris, bentleys, aston martins, vettes, and some really crazy done up cars. Anyway the super clubs are pretty shit cause the area where you would normally dance is the VIP area and it costs around 6-900USD to hire out an area there. Yeah it sucks, everyone is trying to see or be seen and it seems like no one has fun, pretentious clubs arent my scene. Thank god theres a lot of funky lounges and dive bars around the area. I hung out with a bunch of irish guys who were in miami for a wedding and we went a little crazy. We went to mansion cause head kandi were playing and on the sunday we went to nikkis beach bar which i would definitely recommend.
Anyway on sunday afternoon after waslking around seeing some of the art deco precinct i returned back to the hostel to find cop cars swarming the area. Two black guys had come in and smashed the receptionist with a cricket bat and stole all the cash from the draw. It was like being in CSI miami, the crime scene investigation unit had swamped the area and taped off the foyer to the hostel so noone could go in or come out, pain in the arse really, i just hope the receptionsit guy is ok. Then on sunday night i was catching a cab home with an irish guy and he decided he wanted to test the white powders in the area and he got the taxi driver to drive us out to the ghettos where 4 guys, clearly on angel dust or PCP, and probably both, were going crazy at us, ive never felt so unsafe in all my travels, it felt like something out of cops. anyway he got what he came for and we headed back to the hostel. He tried his stuff and he had a big spew, apparently they had sold him crack… poor bugger. Then that night after i had passed out something bit me, i woke up with my eye so swollen i couldnt see out of it and my hand was so inflamed it looked like someone had inflated it with helium. So a trip to the doctors was in order where he prescribed me some quartozome which the nurse injected into my back side, then she said i had a nice hiney 
hehehe. Anyway monday and tuesday here were really shit weatherwise and i had to buy an umbrella it was raining so heavily. Anyway im on the plane now back to LA for a night then to San Fran.
