A very different, unique and charming place to stay. Funky decor, but clean and very comfortable. We did miss having a microwave and coffee maker and the office is only open during working hours. Property is walled, very charming outdoor setting with shade, trees, landscaping, plenty of seating and tables. Traffic noise during rush hours, but quiet at night. Surprised to see a small pool. Woken up by a rooster roosting near our second floor window. Loved it.

Everything was great far as facilities other than hot tub being cold. Room was great. Staff were late to bring breakfast, just inconvenient when trying to get the most out of your trip! Other than that the authors is a quiet, neat place.

We booked for the location, which was walkable to the old-town area of Key West. The room/suite itself was pretty dated and the shower was tiny, but everything worked. The "pool" was very small and seemed to actually be a hot tub. The complimentary breakfast was helpful, and the desk staff was nice.
