Do you know what the Kv of the stock motor is? (roughly)
And what pinion does it come installed with?
Pinion 14t and if it's something like the Mabuchi 775:
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
Thank you for the reply.
Perhaps a better question would be:
What kv would be recommended for 6S?
My goal is not land speed records. Just good, strong, reliable power with great run time.
Thanks again!
you could step way down to a 450kv (or around there) some of those take 8s and more...would be for an airplane or heli....ive seen em for way cheap and they look pretty cool too...maybe somebody could chime in with a link
@ 80% for years?
For RC, I primarily fly helis. I have quite a number of lipo cells lying about. From 1S 110mah to 8S 4200 mah. I think a great pack for this truck would be 2x 3S 2500 packs in series, which I have a few of They would fit perfectly as well.
I have great access to brushless motors of all sizes and kV ratings. I know what ESC I want... I just need to get a feel for what KV to get.
Thanks again!
The E-revo (brushless version) comes with a 2200kv motor and w/ stock pinion has a 18.83 gear ratio.
The Summit has Low: 70.18 and High: 25.34 gear ratios.
It seems, then, that somewhere under 2200kv would be good. I don't need no "65mph & beyond", haha.
/\/\+1...thats the place with all the cheap brushless motors
@ 80% for years?
Or maybe this one:
Thanks for the tip!
Any idea what the dimensions are for the mounting holes are on these?
Is Kershaw Designs the ONLY place to get 6mm pinions?
goes the bump

World Press Photo Press Release
Fri, 02/15/2013 - 01:11
The international jury of the 56th annual World Press Photo Contest has selected a picture by Paul Hansen of the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter as the World Press Photo of the Year 2012. The picture shows a group of men carrying the bodies of two dead children through a street in Gaza City. They are being taken to a mosque for the burial ceremony while their father's body is carried behind on a stretcher. Two-year-old Suhaib Hijazi and his older brother Muhammad were killed when their house was destroyed by an Israeli missile strike. Their mother was put in intensive care. The picture was made on 20 November 2012 in Gaza City, Palestinian Territories.
The jury gave prizes in nine themed categories to 54 photographers of 32 nationalities from: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Jordan, Malaysia, Palestinian Territories, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, USA, and Vietnam.
The members of the jury announced the winners at a press conference held at the World Press Photo office in Amsterdam on 15 February.
Comments on the winners by the jury
Mayu Mohanna, jury member from Peru, said of Paul Hansen's winning picture: "The strength of the pictures lies in the way it contrasts the anger and sorrow of the adults with the innocence of the children. It's a picture I will not forget."
Santiago Lyon, vice president and director of photography at The Associated Press, spoke of the selection of prizewinners: "When I look at the results, as chair of the jury, I think that the World Press Photo of the Year, and all the other photos that were given prizes, were solid, stellar examples of first-rate photojournalism that is powerful, that is lasting, and that will reach whoever looks at them."
The judging was conducted at the World Press Photo office in Amsterdam. All entries were anonymously presented to the jury, who discussed their merits over a two-week period. The jury operates independently and a secretary without voting rights safeguards the fairness of the procedure. The contest drew entries from professional press photographers, photojournalists and documentary photographers across the world.

Day Two.2
With another beer in my hand, this time a fresh glass bottle, I strolled along the sidewalk past the many boutiques. Maybe later, when or if I figure out what's going on I'll have time to go in. I stop dead in front of the hardware store. Taking a gulp from the beer I enter, and begin surveying the store. Nails of all sizes, shovels, picks, hammers, hoses, grills, cables, and tons of other things that I couldn't identify are lining the walls. It seems too early to begin stockpiling; who knows what is going on? Whatever it was, it could have been a false alarm. Christ, I'm too nonchalant. I should be more terrified.
The truth of the situation is that I'm appallingly bad at fixing electronics. That's not my path to salvation. Without the chance of contacting someone myself I have to rely on satellites, planes, or I have to go find people. If it's a nuclear explosion I'm a goner already. If it's a disease, I either already have it, can't avoid it, or I am isolated from it. I can't think of what I need to prepare. Everything is readily supplied for me, except a car. I can't go anywhere without a car. Perhaps I'll just keep walking.
Before I exit the store I notice cans of spray paint on sale for $4.99. Sounds fair. Some of them are glow-in-the-dark, too. I begin stuffing the cans into my backpack until it is bursting and I am carrying extra cans under each arm. I try to get Cleaver to carry one but he only lets it drop to the ground.
On the front window of the hardware store I begin to spray in big navy letters:
Cleaver and I continue walking, moving away from home and away from Main Street.

The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") was established by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of QUALCOMM Incorporated (the "Company") to act on behalf of the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities by reviewing and determining the compensation of the Company's executive officers and non-employee directors. This Charter specifies the scope of authority and responsibilities of the Committee.
1. The Committee shall consist of three or more non-employee directors who (a) meet the independence requirements contained in the NASDAQ listing standards, (b) qualify as "outside directors" pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (c) are "non- employee directors" for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act, such status to be determined by the Governance Committee of the Board (the "Governance Committee"). Any action taken by the Committee during a period in which one (or more) of the members fails for any reason to meet the membership requirements set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above shall still constitute duly authorized actions of the Committee for all corporate purposes.
2. The Board, on the recommendation of the Governance Committee, shall appoint members of the Committee, including the chairperson of the Committee, annually. Members may be replaced by the Board at any time, but shall otherwise serve until a successor has been named.
3. No director shall serve as a member of the Committee if such director has been within the last 12 months or is currently a part of an interlocking directorate in which the CEO or another Executive Officer of the Company serves on the board of directors of another company that employs such director as an executive officer. As used in this Charter, the defined term "Executive Officer" means a person designated by the Board as an executive officer of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act.
4. The Committee shall meet from time to time, as it deems necessary, but generally at least four times per year. The Committee may include management at its meetings, but shall also meet in executive session, without the presence of Company management personnel, as it deems appropriate. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall not be present during voting or deliberations on his or her compensation.
5. The Committee shall maintain written minutes of its meetings, which minutes will be filed in the corporate minute book.
To fulfill its responsibilities and duties hereunder, the Committee shall:
Compensation Philosophy
1. Develop compensation policies, plans and practices the Committee deems relevant in fulfilling its purpose to support the Company's success.
Executive and Non-Employee Director Compensation
1. Review the CEO's and Executive Chairman's performance and approve the CEO's and Executive Chairman's compensation level (including base salary and incentive-based and equity-based compensation levels). As part of this review, the Committee may obtain input from other Committees of the Board concerning the CEO's and Executive Chairman's performance, as it deems appropriate.
2. Periodically review and select the companies used as comparables for competitive market comparisons ("peer companies") based on criteria the Committee deems relevant.
3. Review and approve the compensation levels (including salaries, short- and long-term incentive and equity awards) of all Executive Officers, subject to any budgets or other considerations established from time to time by the Board.
4. Review and approve, at least annually the compensation (including retainers, fees, equity awards and other compensation, perquisites and available benefits) of all non-employee directors of the Company.
5. Approve all employment, deferred compensation, severance or change in control agreements with, and any special or supplemental benefits provided to, any Executive Officers or non-employee directors of the Company.
6. Review and discuss with management the disclosure in the Company's "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section in the Company's proxy statement. Based upon its review and discussion with management, recommend to the Board whether the Compensation Discussion and Analysis should be included in the Company's proxy statement, Form 10-K, or information statement, as applicable, and prepare (or supervise the preparation of) the related Compensation Committee report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
7. Oversee the Company's submissions to shareholders on executive compensation matters, including advisory votes on executive compensation and the frequency of such votes, incentive and other executive compensation plans, and amendments to such plans and, in conjunction with the Board, appropriate Board Committees and management, the engagement with proxy advisory firms and other shareholder groups on executive compensation matters.
8. Administer the Company's incentive recoupment policy.
Executive Development and Succession
1. As part of his or her annual performance evaluation, the Committee shall review the performance of the Company's Chief Executive Officer with respect to executive development and succession planning. Review annually the effectiveness of the executive officer development and succession processes and oversee the process for succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer and other senior management positions.
Compensation and Benefit Plan Design
1. Be responsible for the design of all Company-wide compensation and benefit plans. This authority shall include, but not be limited to, the Company's long-term incentive compensation plans and grants made thereunder. The Committee may delegate or assign such responsibility and authority as it sees fit, as provided by the terms of such compensation and benefit plans and applicable law.
2. Periodically review and advise the Board (supported in the discretion of the Committee, by internal or external experts) on (a) current trends in global, national and industry-wide compensation practices and (b) how the Company's compensation programs and practices compare to those of appropriate peer group companies.
1. Have the authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant and have the authority to approve the consultant's fees and other retention terms. The Committee shall also have authority to retain or obtain advice and assistance from internal or independent external human resources, legal, accounting or other advisors, and to approve the compensation of such external advisors. Prior to selecting, or receiving advice from, any advisor, the Committee shall consider the independence of such advisor based on the factors contained in NASDAQ Rule 5605(d)(3); provided, however, that the Committee shall not be prohibited from obtaining advice from any advisor that it determines is not independent or who may have one or more items considered under the factors contained in Rule 5605(d)(3). The Committee shall be directly responsible for the oversight of any services of any consultant, counsel or other advisor it retains. The fees and costs of such consultants, legal counsel and other advisors shall be borne by the Company.
2. Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter at least annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval. The Committee will also review its own performance, at least annually, for purposes of self-evaluation and to encourage the continuing improvement of the Committee in the execution of its responsibilities.
3. Review the Company's employee compensation policies and practices to determine whether they are reasonably likely to create or increase risks that have a material adverse effect on the Company and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether or not additional disclosure is required in the proxy statement regarding such risk. This may include a periodic review of talent management policies and practices as part of the Company's overall Enterprise Risk Management initiative.
4. Review provisions of all compensation and benefit plans requiring approval by Company stockholders, including new plans and amendments to continuing plans, and discuss such review with the Board.
5. Review related person transactions that are employment or compensation related and that would require disclosure under applicable SEC or NASDAQ rules.
6. Make regular reports to the Board on the activities of the Committee.
7. Perform such other functions and have such other powers as it shall deem necessary to the efficient discharge of the foregoing, including the right to delegate its authority when appropriate.

The Features Stark White Stork Approaching Lyrics
Saw you kicking one another in the head
So I called upon the doctor, and the doctor said:
'What am I supposed to do?
There isn't one inside, but two
And there's only so much room
Inside a mother's womb.'
Stuck inside a dream
Hope it lasts forever
Long as we're together gonna dream my life away
Vividly I see that stark white stork approaching
Lately he's been coaching our little family

Daily analysis 23.06.2014:
Fairly good PMI readings from China, weak from France and in line with expectations from Germany. Draghi suggests keeping interest rates at low levels until the end of 2016. The zloty stabilizes around 4.16 per the Euro but the political risk still may weigh on the local currency.
Macro data (CET- Central European Time). Survey is supplied by Bloomberg unless otherwise noted.
- Already published PMI readings from France and Germany.
- 15.45 CET: US manufacturing PMI readings from the US (survey: 56.5).
- 16.00 CET: Existing home sales (survey 4.75 million, annualized, seasonally adjusted data).
PMIs and interest rates
The week began from fairly good data. Chinese PMI reading rose to the highest YTD levels and exceeded the 50 mark (50.8). While commenting on the data, Hongbin Qu, chief economist China & Co-head of Asian Economic Research at HSBC, wrote that "the improvement was broad-based with both domestic orders and external demand sub-indicies in expansionary territory". Qu also points out that "mini-stimulus are filtering through to the real economy" and "over the next few months, infrastructure investments and related sectors will continue to support the recovery".
The optimism observed before the start of the European session quickly faded when French PMIs were published. According to the preliminary Markit readings, the situation in the second largest Euro area economy worsened both in manufacturing (from 49.6 to 47.8 points) and services (from 49.1 to 48.2). The comments from Paul Smith, senior Makit economist are also pretty dire. He claims that "the data are consistent with another disappointing GDP outturn for Q2 following stagnation in the first quarter". Additionally, Smith expects that "the economic underperformance of France seems to persist well into H2 2014".
The future should be much brighter in Germany. Manufacturing PMI remained close to the May's level (52.4). The services reading is slightly worse than before (54.8 vs 56) but we still remain firmly above 50 mark which separates the contraction from expansion. There is also no signs that the largest Euro Zone economy may have any trouble in the following months.
During the weekend we had quite interesting message from Mario Draghi. As Bloomberg reports, the Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf" published interview with the ECB chief which may suggest that Euro area interest rates "will probably remain low for at least another 2 ½ years". If we quickly compare that to the recently published FOMC projections, where the members' median forecast for interest rates level is around 2.5% at the end of 2016, we should clearly see how the rate difference will widen in the incoming quarters. In result, it should "at some moment" translate to further pressure on the Euro and support for the dollar.
Summarizing, besides fairly good readings from China the result of PMI indexes is on the softer side. The French economy has still been quite weak and there are no signs of the improvement on the horizon. Today investors may get some attention from housing data (in the recent FOMC statement real estate expansion has slowed). We should also not forget about Tuesday's German Ifo index. The reading around 110 points will be regarded as neutral.
After pretty high volatility recorded last week on the zloty caused by Fed's decision, "tape scandal" and Norwegian Central Bank statement, the Monday's session brings calmness and trade around 4.16 on the EUR/PLN. Some portfolio investors used the PLN weakness to enter long positions on Polish assets.
Whether the decision was successful depends on the fact if the government withstands the recent crisis. In a scenario of earlier election the zloty should weaken to 4.20 per the Euro and 3.45 on CHF/PLN which can be much better moment for some PLN purchases.
In the medium term we will return to the real economy. Recently we have had some weaker readings (production, inflation, PMI). If the softer data persists, we may expect that the MPC decides to interest rates and in result the zloty should get weaker. In that context it is worth observing retail sales reading, which will be a good indicator whether the consumers are on the stronger or softer side.
The last issues which can put pressure on the local currency is the oil issue. The Brent crude is topping 115 USD per barrel and we are getting loser to 12-month highs. Higher costs of oil may on one hand worsen the trade balance, but on the other put some pressure on the GDP (both are negative for the PLN).
Today, however, the trade should be fairly calm and most transactions will be made around 4.16 level. The similar situation will be observed on the CHF/PLN. Only significant changes in the local politics (increased pressure for the early election) may weaken the zloty markedly.
Expected levels of PLN according to the EUR/USD rate:
|Range EUR/USD
|Range EUR/PLN
|Range USD/PLN
|Range CHF/PLN
Expected GBP/PLN levels according to the GBP/PLN rate:
|Range GBP/USD

Our lovely Anniversary treat at The Penny Farthing
Lovely stay,super quiet hotel,charming,helpful staff,all added up to make our anniversary stay special Breakfast,freshly cooked was 1st class.Thankyou
Rather disappointing
The Pennyfarthing is ideally placed to make the most of Berkhamsted but the entrance off the Waitrose car park through a dark corridor is unwelcoming.
The receptionist was friendly and helpful but, for the price charged, we expected rather more polish, and a brighter reception area. The decor is smart but dark, and the room, which we were told was a free upgrade, so presumably the best, was large, very clean, but with a window with a view only onto an adjoining roof. The bed was very comfortable, with sheets and towels of good quality. Breakfast choice was very limited, compared with other hotels we've stayed in and served in an uninteresting, again dark feeling, room. The cooked food was good but the cook had to serve as well and had an offhand manner. If the room charge was £20 or £30 cheaper we would have been satisfied, but expected more for £97.

With the start of a new year, we have the opportunity to develop new habits and right old wrongs. Many people use this opportunity to set resolutions but according to a 2012 University of Scranton study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, only eight percent of all people who set resolutions for themselves actually apply them, so let's start by trying to get into that hallowed eight percent.
Here are a few basic tips for setting resolutions:
- Set realistic financial goals. It is well and good to aim high but we would be better served playing to our restrictions. If you're stuck with credit card debt or are in the market for a house, look into areas which can do with a little waist tightening. And adjust only so much as you can sustain for the entire year. It does no good to set impossible goals, unless you have specific action steps attached in how you will attain those goals. Confucius said, "When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps."
- Manage your credit card spending. You will only accumulate more debt if you are not attentive. Exploit credit cards to your own advantage by signing up for rewards programs which give you points which can be used on your next holiday shopping spree. Look for discounts for cardholders. Also, make it a rule to [click to continue…]

The BSkyB chief executive, Jeremy Darroch, took home more than £7m in pay and share awards last year, including an almost maximum cash bonus of £1.8m.
Darroch's total remuneration including salary, bonus, pension and benefits for the year to the end of June remained almost flat year-on-year at £2.93m. That included a £1.82m bonus, almost the maximum 200% of his base salary, while his salary remained flat year-on-year at £935,000.He also received £175,686 in benefit payments and banked almost £4.1m from 580,000 shares awarded as part of BSkyB's long-term incentive plan.
Danny Rimer, chairman of BSkyB's remuneration committee, said Darroch would get a 2.5% pay rise this year, the first since 2011. He pointed out that Darroch's base pay was still less than former chief executive James Murdoch's in 2007. He also holds 354,575 shares personally in BSkyB, worth almost £3.1m at the current share price.
Sky reported pre-tax profits of £1.26bn for the year to the end of June, a 5.7% year-on-year increase, as revenues rose 7% to £7.2bn. The company had 10.4 million subscribers at the end of June, of which 4.9 million were broadband customers. "Triple play" subscribers – taking TV, telephony and broadband services – accounted for 35% of its total customers.
Average revenue per user, a key metric watched by analysts and investors, was up £29 to £577.
With subscriber growth in its core pay-TV business slowing, the broadcaster has turned its attention to luring consumers who have resisted its Sky TV offering with video-on-demand service Now TV. This offers Sky content to non-Sky TV subscribers, with more than 50,000 having taken advantage of its £9.99 sports "day pass".

Simmons Cafe and Market in Adamsville, goes local big time
ADAMSVILLE — A landmark store here — Simmons Cafe and Market at 78 Crandall Road — that had closed at the end of last year, has re-opened May 10 under new ownership.
The new owner, Jennifer Grantham, has moved to instill a new look, and a decidedly local and organic approach towards the store's offerings. The store, she says, will be celebrating it's grand opening on Saturday, June 14, from 4 to 6 p.m..
Ms. Grantham herself lives nearby in Westport, as does the store's new general manager, Jody Cote, who brings 35 years' of experience at Lees Market in Westport, where she most recently served as general manager until new ownership there reorganized the place.
Though her approach may be new, the establishment Ms. Grantham is now running has a history. It's been a presence at the location continuously since about 1890.
"We want it to be clean, bright, and inviting," said Jennifer Grantham, of her new endeavor.
With no increase in overall square footage, walls and floor-standing freezers have been removed from the Simmons Cafe and Market building, creating more space for merchandise along the front end, where shelves are "stuffed to the brim," Ms. Grantham said.
Space in the rear of the building has been opened up for a cafe and sandwich shop, where half a dozen tables and chairs and two small sofas and coffee tables are now arranged.
The focus is local, said Ms. Grantham. "There's so much availability of local fresh food and products and art. There's so much to build upon. We want to support our local businesses and neighbors," she said.
"When we talk about local and global environmental, social, and political issues, it seems the right step to take to focus my energy on an establishment like this," she said.
Ms. Grantham has a masters in business administration (in managing for sustainability) from Marlboro College Graduate School in Brattleboro, Vermont.
"I enjoy project design and management," she said. "Small, corner shops like this are really important," she said. "I can say with 99 percent confidence you will not find a product here made, produced, or processed in China."
On Friday morning, Ms. Grantham spent an hour or two discussing arrangements with a new ice cream supplier from Hadley, Massachusetts — Maple Valley Ice Cream ("If they say it's local, ask to see their cows") — to deliver ice cream to her market.
The market also serves as a convenience store, she says, selling newspapers (local, regional, and a few national), and lottery tickets.
Ms. Grantham said the store offers a full selection of local flowers, organic vegetables, and locally raised meats and dairy products.
Also on display are arts and craft from local artists.
The deli area in back serves breakfast and lunch sandwiches, salads, and soups, baked goods (muffins, cookies), all homemade, as well as espresso, coffee and tea — all organic as well.
We want to offer chemical and pesticide free products, she said.
"I think there's a demand in the market. There's an awareness of the benefits of eating healthy and well and having access to products that are non-toxic."
For the last approximately 15 years, the F.A. Simmons Store (as it was then known) was owned and operated by Ralph Borden and Jennifer (Jenn) Holewka. They closed the store Dec. 31, 2013, making way for the new management to take over.
Shortly after purchasing the store last winter, Ms. Grantham said. "We hope to maintain the historical elements of the store and village."
The store has 10 employees, Ms. Grantham said.
Simmons Market and Cafe will be open seven days per week, she said, from 7 a.m . to 7 p.m.. During the summer the store will be open later in the evening to sell ice cream.

Every day and every patient provides her with a unique opportunity to exercise her brain and force her to think about how to handle problems and challenges. She never gets bored.

She takes pride in helping people who need plastic surgery for medical reasons and in improving her patients' quality of life. Her favorite surgery to perform is tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty). There are few other procedures that make such a dramatic change. As a woman, she has special appreciation for that change...everyone wants a flatter tighter stomach!
As a female plastic surgeon, Dr. LeBlanc understands the desire to look your very best.

Dear Answer Angel Ellen: Although I am a man, I always read your column. You frequently advise your readers that "there are no rules" in fashion, style and dressing yourself. I will take your word for it because you are the expert but it did get me to wondering. If there are no rules now, does that mean there were rules at one time? And if so, who made them? And are they cyclical: Could they come back again, who would make them and why should we follow them? Hope you can shed some light on this.
— Seriously Curious

Messy Person
The day started out in a drunken mess.
One noticed by many
Unseen by others
--Mostly everyone
Somebody noticed
Not the mess
But the person
He knows about it and is still concerned
I went
With my original plan
And missed my French yet again.
Thank the gnikcuf lord. I thought I could do it but it seems like that's impossible.
What I met
With the long queue of kids with their own seemingly significant line of problems
Was the shyness of a smile and a confident voice speaking out
Like years have passed
Just like that
I accepted it
With open arms
And I craved for more
Like seeing the sun shine for the first god damn marvelous time after nothing but a down pour of rain and clouds
It's amazing
It's "dazzingly"
And it turned me over with the ideal strength I had been needing for a while now.
No grammar needed
The silence of a jig-saw puzzle filling in the gaps
And the shaking of hands
That accompanied me
With that pain
For the first time
I truly wanted
To draw the butterfly
With the blue ink of someone I look up to
He knows
I know thank god.

First time renting a condo versus going to a hotel so I was nervous. The property was nice and I loved the room. It was a little dusty but everything worked and I really loved having a washer and dryer available. The added benefit of having the room cleaned was also a bonus.
My BIGGEST complaint was the bed squeaked so LOUD. I tend to toss and turn a lot at night and the bed was so squeaky. Overall, I'd stay again but I might want to check out the bed beforehand.
I really liked The Mutiny Condo location for the Marina access as well as the town of Coconut Grove.
I didn't like the way our room was cleaned...quite frankly, it was dirty and dusty.
When asking for tea or creamer, housekeeping didn't put it in the room, but I had to go to the desk and pick some up or have housekeeping make a special trip to the room to deliver. The person that was to clean the room each day did very minimal and that was disappointing.
Spent a long w-end in this Mutiny Condo & was very happy with the experience. Jessica with Phoenix Properies made the booking process easy, provided clear instructions & was responsive to my follow up questions. The check-in process at the hotel front desk was easy, staff was very friendly & available for suggestions. The unit was clean & conveniently equipped with everything we needed including cups, silverware, coffee maker, plenty of towels, bath products & supplies. It was as comfortable stay as we could've asked for. We loved the location just off the main Grove ave. The balcony was a great way to enjoy coffee before heading out. Will definitely stay here again based on the experience for the price.
Great spot for our needs. Cute condo with hotel amenities. Room service, house keeping and use of pool and restaurant. Nice short walk to the grove for meals and shops.
The area is great, everything was walking distance , shopping, food, and even movies. My problem was with the actual room we stayed in. It looked like it was mold in the shower and when we told them they said it was ok and not active but there was nothing they could do about it. Also the soap holder in the shower was barely holding on.
My husband and I are from Miami. We wanted a "staycation". The Mutiny Hotel was perfect. Our room was spacious, clean and had all the amenities needed. And everyone on staff was professional and helpful. We love Coconut Grove and the Mutiny is in the heart of it. We walked everywhere.
I highly recommend it !!
