Key West get away
We had a wonderful week in the Sombrero Suite. The location was absolutely perfect. The suite was clean and welcoming. We walked everywhere and enjoyed many local favorites. The tranquil plunge pool is prefect. Hana was quick to respond and very accommodating. See you again!

Great little place
We had a great stay at the Sombrero Suite. The unit it as described in the listing. It has 1 bedroom and 1 bath and it has just been just remolded and was like new. It had everything we needed to enjoy our visit to Key West including a small swimming pool. If you are looking for a location right off of mid Duval, I would highly recommend this property.
