Damn dude, you should just consider somewhere else. No way you're getting by with 2k. The cheapest rooms on some of those weekends at the hotel i work at are $450. You really will end up having a lot more fun somewhere else. The beach is mad expensive, esepcially if you plan on partying. Your rent alone if you can find a one month rental is going to be more than 2k. Mixx is right too, sobe is pretty ghetto. And Brian, 55th street area is a nice place to live. North Beach is much nicer IMO than SoBe. Public transportation is alright if you live around downtown or brickel. If you are looking for budget you def wanna check out downtown. Either way, 2k just isn't gonna cut it if you're going for vacation.
We are not living in the same Florida. This is bad advice/post.
Maybe it's time for a new thread....
Here's the thing... Miami can be mad cheap if you live here. That would mean living inland Miami, away from the beach. Anything on the beach is gonna cost $800-1000 (Bare minimum if you want a studio or one bedroom for yourself, usually something nice is more like $14-2000) a month if you sign a 6 month- Year rent agreement. But during the time he's coming down, it's the busiest it gets down here. So if you're planning on staying somewhere for only a month, I'd imagine the rent would be well over 1000. I just met a girl recently that'll be out here around 3 months, during the same time. Her rent is $1400 for a one bedroom and her agency found it for her, it's super basic.
If you are planning on partying, the parties are gonna be expensive if you plan on buying drinks. After entrance and drinks, you'll be spending $100 if you plan on getting a good buzz. The only way I'd see pulling this off and making it worth it is if you live in downtown or midtown and take the bus when you wanna go to the beach or Brickel. This could suck depending on where you live downtown or midtown. If the bus is easy to take you're all good. You wouldn't be able to party it up very much. Day game will be your best bet since in MIA, you wanna be rolling with some loot if you plan on doing some damage at the nice spots. You might also wanna check out some spots off the beach. Day game could work well here though, there will be lots of crazy drunk girls running around the street. Half of them will probably be on ecstacy. I remember seeing kids rollin' balls at 12pm on a wed. afternoon last year for WMC.
But yes, if you are living in Miami for 6 months + and have some stability here and live in cheaper areas of town, Miami can be pretty damn cheap. But if you plan going for a month as a tourist, it's not gonna be an easy task rollin with 2k, I promise. Living on the beach is mad expensive for just about everything.
