Nice place

We enjoyed our stay here in Key West. We were able to walk to everything, but you will be putting in some miles. We had to check in later than check in time, but the cleaning people explained they were busy and traffic caused issues. The host called us to let us know when it was ready, which was nice.

Quaint, convenient & clean

This property is centrally located and we easily biked around to everything. There were restaurants and a gas station in walking distance. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and neighbors were friendly and quiet. The bed was so comfortable, and the adjustable head of bed was so nice! I feel the price may have been on the high side due to Spring Break. I’d like to stay again and hope the price may be more reasonable in other times of the year.Overall, we loved the place and the location.

Good value for a short trip (3 nights)

We needed a reasonably priced spot to sleep while visiting Key West for the first time and this fit the bill. We drove in from Miami, so had a car to manage - parking is an issue! There are few open spots for visitors, so plan accordingly. Great coffee spot right around the corner and a few walking distance eating places if not staying near the Duval Street center at dinner time. Would benefit from a little more local information in the space (Notebook of menus, maps, top tourist spots, checkout information, etc) to help orient the first time visitor, but the host was very responsive when we had a problem during the stay. Good trip!

Quiet location

Quiet, small apartment that is close to everything if using a bike. The bed was comfortable, apartment clean, and met all our needs. The only downside was not much space to park 2 bikes. We struggled to find space each night to lock up our bikes. The host was very responsive and easy to reach for any needs or questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Another Great One

We always stay at this location when available. There’s another one at the rear of the property and it was a good spot but we’re spoiled by this one. We’ve stayed here so much it is almost like a second home. It’s well appointed, the shower is huge and the place is cozy and has the lived in feel to it. There’s plenty of basics in the kitchen, full size fridge and stove, the bed is outstanding and adjustable, and there’s even beach chairs to use while staying. Marilyn is a great host and super responsive. She makes sure you’re notified of anything or takes care of issues as soon as possible if something comes up. We had no problems and will definitely be back soon!

This is the perfect place for a 3 day trip to Key West. Very cute in a quiet neighborhood. You do have to walk a little to Duval Street which was fine for us.

Cute, older place in good location, with nice front porch. You can walk, but we rented bikes, and glad we did. Because you have to park on street and only in designated areas, it's hard to find a spot. Place did not seem that clean. Floors were really dirty. Walked 10 steps after getting out of shower and our feet were black!

Weekend getaway

Overall, we were satisfied, however, the mattress was too soft, our hips (and we are not old by any means) were hurting every morning from being sunken in the soft mattress. The rugs and the couch could have been cleaned or replaced (stained all over). The smell could have been better too. However, the kitchen and bathroom were cleaned, very well stocked with clean towels and pots and pans and appliances. We did enjoy our stay.
