The host was very nice. Loved the big walk-in shower and front porch. A great place to get away from the hustle. In the neighborhood. The planes coming from above were loud, but didn’t bother our sleep with window A/C. Old and dated, but clean. We had to walk a while and are older so we stopped along the way.

The location is very convenient and parking was easy, which made getting around simple. The house is basic, with older furniture and appliances. The sofa in the living room could use repair, and it would have been nice to have essentials like shampoo provided.The main challenge we experienced was with check-in, as we didn’t receive the instructions beforehand and had to spend some time reaching the host to get access. Once inside, the stay was fine, but smoother communication and a few updates to the home would make the experience much better.

We really enjoyed our stay once again. We’ve started here many times and there’s far too many positives to list here. A few highlights at the great property owner, the location, easy to get to and from, comfortable bed, large shower area, and amenities anyone needs for a stay. The neighborhood is quiet and many options nearby like laundry needs and a great cup of Cuban coffee and sandwich while you wait. This place has all you need with a full kitchen, futon couch if needed, and starter supplies for the kitchen or bath and all this without the ridiculous pricing some owners charge for less of a place. Everything you want to do in Key West is outdoors so all you need is comfortable and usable space to stay and refresh.

Okay, but not really that good

This is a fine low budget place to stay, especially if you intend to spend no time at the house lots of things were just not quite right here Simple things like the oven doesn’t work or the patio furniture is broke or no batteries in the any clocks in the house or the fact that just about every thing with an electric cord was unplugged,or no Kleenex or holes in the shower curtain, strong musty smell that we couldn’t get rid of and silly us, we thought there would actually be soap in the house, but there wasn’t we had to go buy our own.

Good place to relax

We decided to take a week off in Key West. Marilyn was extremely accomadating as our dates changed. We had a slight communication glich as emails didnt get read. Once we connected, it was great. The house was just right for 2 people. It was a quiet neighborhood, so we got a lot of sleep! We could have walked to most activites, however im waiting for knee replacement surgery, so we drove downtown and to all sights.

We enjoyed our stay here in Key West. We were able to walk to everything, but you will be putting in some miles. We had to check in later than check in time, but the cleaning people explained they were busy and traffic caused issues. The host called us to let us know when it was ready, which was nice.

This property is centrally located and we easily biked around to everything. There were restaurants and a gas station in walking distance. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and neighbors were friendly and quiet. The bed was so comfortable, and the adjustable head of bed was so nice! I feel the price may have been on the high side due to Spring Break. I’d like to stay again and hope the price may be more reasonable in other times of the year.Overall, we loved the place and the location.

Good value for a short trip (3 nights)

We needed a reasonably priced spot to sleep while visiting Key West for the first time and this fit the bill. We drove in from Miami, so had a car to manage - parking is an issue! There are few open spots for visitors, so plan accordingly. Great coffee spot right around the corner and a few walking distance eating places if not staying near the Duval Street center at dinner time. Would benefit from a little more local information in the space (Notebook of menus, maps, top tourist spots, checkout information, etc) to help orient the first time visitor, but the host was very responsive when we had a problem during the stay. Good trip!
