The home is a wonderfully renovated historic home, near to everything you could want in Key West. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped. The beds are super comfortable. Would definitely go back.
Overall great home in a great location, easy walk to most every attraction. Property shows much better in person than pictures in the listing. Very large bedrooms and closets. Top of the line furnishings and every kitchen appliances you could ask for. Sonos speaker system throughout the house inside and outside. Weather was great so, all in all a wonderful experience.
