The Kitchen | Historic East Hill Studio Near Downtown Pensacola

Part of the historic Gadsden Hideaway, this thoughtfully renovated studio offers accommodation for
up to two guests while preserving a unique piece of Pensacola history. In the early 1900s, kitchens

transformed into a private studio now known as The Kitchen.

Cozy place, great location!

Cozy spot, just as described by host. Very clean and bright inside. Parking area was off-street and private. Centrally located in the city. Would absolutely recommend for single traveler or a couple coming to visit the city. Host was very helpful…even though the issue was my fault!

The B&B was cute. Perfect for 2 people coming and going. We had a blast and enjoyed ourselves. They was very inviting. Only downfall, which is not on the B&B people is, its very noisy, and was hard to sleep. There is a fish market in the parking lot and they have deliveries early morning. And they pick the trash up about 5am. Only thing I can recommend is ear plugs for when you sleep. The bathroom door doesnt latch and the towels could be more absorbent due to the humidity down there. Otherwise it was great! Thanks!
