Great location but...
The location can't be beat but the property is very tired and run down everything including the stairs appeared to be falling apart. The outdoor sitting area was absolutely disgusting and we chose to sit on our little balcony instead. Also, our rental was surface clean but smelled very bad. Even though it's in a great location, we would not stay here again.

All About Location and Parking
Our favorite place on Key West is the Monkey Bar and Banana Split is within crawling distance (2 blocks). That's why we chose the same location for my birthday week. Glad to see ongoing efforts to replace some of the sagging wood. The balcony felt a little too soft walking on it so we avoided being out there at the same time.

Awesome!
Nice and cozy place, wry close to Duval street. Clean and comfortable. The street was a bit busy and noisy in the morning so couldn’t sleep in like we had hoped but besides that it was great! Will go again!
