The host was excellent and very attentive to our needs. The room was beautiful and location was good. The only drawback was parking was a distance from the property.

The manager of the property, (Drew) was very nice and very informative of the area. The property is a short walk (less than a block) to Duval St. The property is very quiet at night with a nice porch to sit out on and enjoy the evening. In the am they have a nice continental breakfast in the lobby. A very enjoyable place to stay. We will be back

Such a perfect little gem in walking distance to duval st, hemingway house, and even a 20 min walk to the beach. Perfect location for everything you could need to enjoy key west. Also the property was lovely with key west charm.

Both staff members were wonderful. Very nice clean rooms, amazing breakfast spread with fresh bagels daily, happy hour, A/C in rooms. Really couldn't have asked for a better location, staff or relaxing stay within a great walking distance to many places.

I travel a lot and I was very impressed with the accommodations! The air conditioning was A++++, which in the middle of July says a lot. The bedding was amazing, and being all adult house, it was very quiet during sleeping hours and enjoying the breakfast in the morning. But the highlight of the property was Drew at the front desk, he was like our own private concierge, he went above and beyond to find answers and fulfill requests. Need a golf cart he’s your man, beach towel no problem, helped us out with everything. Highly recommend this property
