Amazing week
This place was great. We loved sitting out on the balcony at the end of a fun filled day and just people watching. Will definitely stay again. Tom was extremely helpful and even watched are car while we unpacked it. Then he went with my husband to find a parking spot scince parking is hard to find.

Not a good experience
While Key West is a great place to visit, these accommodations were terrible. Woke up to flees biting my legs. They were in the extra pillows we pulled out of the closet. Over 26 bites just from my knees to my feet. Large roaches in the kitchen as well which is part of the key west experience as we learned. Over all the accommodations were not at all worth the price. Won’t stay here again.

Great location!
This was a very cute little apartment and had everything we needed. The balcony overlooking Duval was a plus. The noise from Duval did not bother us at night. We were in Spanky’s retreat and we had no problem with noise. The manager gave us many suggestions on finding parking and even gave us his spot when we couldn’t find one. He held our bags for us until check-in. Tom was very helpful and easy to work with.
