Ideal for a few days in Key West

Nice little property to stay for a few days. As advertised with clean with a comfy bed, plenty of bath towels and a good kitchen. On street parking was a bit tight at times but we always managed to get a space. Wifi was good and available on the porch area but struggled to reach inside, and the AC wasn't the quietest although it wasn't as bad as I though it would be having read some other reviews. If you are after a base for a few days in the Keys it's ideal.

It’s convenient but lacks a couple essentials

This place is all about the LOCATION!! Walking distance to EVERYTHING. It’s very clean. Parking was awesome as it was right in front and FREE! However, there are some basic things lacking:There’s nothing to put your shower toiletries in while in shower Bed is very loud. VERY - this has been addressed in other reviews but not fixed AC needs updated as has been stated in other reviewsWiFi issues as stated in other reviews A place to put suitcases would be great as well.

Little but doable for two

Easy to find, middle of the week parking was great. If you are staying more than two nights bring your own coffee...they only supply two and it is a ground coffee pot not K-CUP. Asked for more but didn't get it so CVS is just down the street. Limited shampoo but we had plenty of towels. Was a short walk to Duval Street and plenty of places to see. Got on the Old Town Trolley. The stop is about three blocks away and they took us places to far for us to walk. Knowing what we know now about the accommodations we would be better prepared and would stay again.

I recently stayed at this property and had a generally pleasant experience. The property itself is nice and well-maintained, with a great location that adds to its appeal. The surrounding area is excellent, making it convenient and enjoyable. However, there were a few downsides to my stay. The internet was not working, which was quite inconvenient. Additionally, while the property is good overall, it could benefit from having a few more amenities. The bathroom, in particular, could use some improvements to enhance comfort and functionality. Overall, it's a decent place to stay, especially for its location, but addressing these issues could significantly improve the experience for future guests.

Horrible experience

We checked in Friday night. First noticed, and called office because the Air conditioner and TV weren’t working. I was told someone would be out tomorrow morning! After that call, we started unpacking and noticed the floors were dirty and covered in bugs. The shower had Mold growing in it and there were paint cans in the bathroom! All back and told them we were leaving first thing in the morning. Have called several times, and received several calls from different people. Bottom line, we left first thing Saturday morning! One girl I talk to said we could expect a refund, but considering I have still received text and emails asking about our stay, I won’t hold my breath waiting for the refund, so I have disputed the charges with my CC. I have several pictures of proof of condition of property, text informing that we left Saturday morning, and receipts of where we checked in once we left there!

Cute Key West Accommodation with Good Location

We enjoyed our short stay! The location was perfect - In a mostly quiet neighborhood but close to Duval Street, so walking to our activities was very convenient. Overall, the unit was clean with added touches such as mini-soap & mini-shampoo, plus some ice trays were ready in the freezer! Great for a hot day. The decor(chest of drawers, bed, & mirror) are rattan which gave a unique & classic "island vibe". Moving around on the bed is very loud due to the type of frame it is on. It wasn't a problem for us. Note for those of you who might have breathing issues: At first glance, the unit seemed worrisome because the A/C unit showed that the filter needed to be cleaned & the smell coming out of the A/C is very musky. There is also a lot of moisture damage, to the inside wall, under the A/C unit. There is some mildew on the grout in the shower(seems like a repair was done, but the wrong grout was used on the patch). With no air-flow to rid the bathroom of moisture, it's unavoidable. This made the unit appear dirty for my first impression. However, upon further exploration, the unit was cleaned with care. The floors, refrigerator, & counters were clean. The A/C unit is noisy(as "window shakers" typically are), but it also helped drown out noises from outside. Public parking is very limited (as stated in the listing), but there seems to be enough parking on the main street a block or two down. Check-in instructions were clear & the host communicated well. I would stay here again.

Simonton St Suite

Great location close to everything on the island with close scooter parking. Space is plenty big for a couple or single traveler. Only downside would be bed. Definitely dated and the mattress/pillows are very used, and not comfortable. We ended up going to buy new pillows that we left at the space for future guests. Aside from those two negatives, there’s nothing wrong with this space.

Average stay

We had a great experience. Responsive for the most part . I would have rates this as a wonderful experience except for a few things . We asked for a fan because the air barely worked and never got one even though they said they would get something figured out with the air . The bathroom needs a fan on the ceiling or something. The living room air does not reach it . Lastly the bed …. So uncomfortable- it really needs updated. Other than those things it was cute , convenient and clean .
