It was a pleasure hosting you, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for your next visit! Safe travels until then.
We had a wonderful stay! The location is perfectChecking in was easy. The lower level was cozy, but felt spacious. It was great having washer/dryer. The loft area worked for us, but if you are tall it may feel a little tight. The bed was comfortable. We would rent again! Thanks!!

Great location right off Duval. Easy to walk to the beach and all the restaurants around Duval. Bathroom is a good size for a smaller property and the kitchen is well equipped. We would stay again.
We had a great time in this super central location. Beautiful home easy walking distance to all that Key West has to offer! Thank you for a memorable visit!

This was a short walk to the main drag (no pun intended).It's small but had everything needed for just the 2 of us, and host was very quick to respond to questions.

Just a half block off Duval makes this location a great stay. The parking is just around the corner (by paid permit with the property manager). We stayed in a single unit, but two other single units in the same building can be rented for an ideal stay with two other couples.

Absolutely wonderful location, Just Needed More Information
First, let me tell you about the positives. The location is perfect for exploring Key West. It is right around the corner from all the restaurants and the sights. I can't stress how convenient this location is. Here what I wish I knew before I came down here. There was no parking at the location. It was an additional 50.00ish per night for parking down the street. It was a bit of a shock.
