A nice location.

Liked: The location is in a quiet neighborhood, away from Duval Street, yet close enough to walk or bike there. The grounds are kept up nicely.
Disliked: The owner contacted my guests for payment even after I asked him not to as I was going to make all the payments. He strongly preferred NO credit card use and texted us about using alternative payment methods. It was a bit annoying. Our room had an overwhelming scent of some kind of air freshener and poor ventilation. The manager told us it was cleaner and the scent would go away - it didn't. We had to keep the wall unit air conditioner off a night as it was loud.

Would recommend. We would certainly...

Liked: Great location near beaches, shops, restaurants. Very helpful owner offering plenty of information and local knowledge. Unit had everything we needed for a relatively short visit.
Disliked: Lack of electrical outlets. Extension cords inadequate when running microwave and coffee maker at same time, for instance.

Nice 3 night stay in...

Liked: Great location where we could walk to most things we wanted to do; host was friendly and helpful; nice selection of fresh fruit and snacks available;
Disliked: Air conditioning- we were here in January; can’t imagine ac would keep room cool in summerFees - learned after booking that had to pay through Venmo or pay credit card fees

Very good

We’ll be staying here again...

Liked: We love the garden area and the location is quiet, while also close to Duval St. and the beach.

a place to sleep

Liked: the bed was comfortable and we used the iron. thank you.
Disliked: many hidden fees including an additional processing fee with credit card payment. host would not communicate through booking app and would text at all hours requesting cash payment. walls were paper thin, we could hear our neighbors very easily. the room was tight even with just two guests in the room and towels were scratchy. shower water temp was unpredictable, seems to be an issue with the faucet.

Recovered one of two nights....

Liked: We booked and paid two nights here, but unfortunately we could not be here as planned due to flights disruption (British Airways). However, the owner was kind as he allowed us to recover one of the two nights the day after. Location is close to central. We particularly appreciated how comfortable the bed and pillows were. Also, it was good to find refreshments and snacks in the room at our arrival. Nice garden with plenty of plants and a small pool. Good WiFi connection.
Disliked: Nothing in particular. Bathroom pretty small.
