A nice place to stay

Stayed 4 nights. Clean property with a nice little shallow pool. It was kind of frustrating not having a parking spot after a long day of travel, but after a loop around the block we fortunately saw a car leaving a street spot and parked there. The unit has pretty much everything you need and they checked daily to see if we needed anything. There was no facial tissues so toilet tissue was used instead. My first Key West visit, so be prepared because EVERYTHING is expensive!

Secluded , yet in the heart of old town. We are veterans of Key West. Everything is walkable for the places we love to go too. Pool was an extra bonus. Communication and property was superb for our needs. Would come again and again.

Great Location!

Cute little studio apartment just a block & a half from Duval. !0 minute walk to Sloppy Joe's & 15-20 minutes to the Half Shell for those already familiar... Bed is comfy, unit is clean, small but useable kitchen with full size fridge and a lush, tropical courtyard with a pool shared by the 7 or 8 units. This was our 3rd year here and we really don't want to stay anywhere else...! The only drawback - shared by 90% of other properties in Key West - is the limited parking, only 2 spaces for the 7 units and then it's a hunt for something fairly close on the street. Lois is easy to reach & cleaning girls are nice. Awesome place to stay and we'll be back again next year!!

Property was in older part of town, dated and cozy but clean. Walking distance to Duvall Street. Parking is somewhat limited. Nice little pool and secluded courtyard shared by 8 units. Overall, decent spot for our stay there

Perfect spot form us

Plenty of room for the two of us, enjoyed the private patio. The pool is small but was kept warm enough most of the time to sit and relax in. Location was great, easy walk to Duval street. We didn't have a car and did all our getting around with our feet which was fine. On average I would say we walked a little over 4 miles a day.

Clean, comfortable, cozy and close

The ShangriLa suite was very clean with everything we needed for a 3-night stay. The bed and furniture were comfortable. The room was quite small/cozy, particularly the bathroom/shower, but this didn't negatively impact our overall rating at all. The property is only 2 blocks off Duval St. Close enough to walk back if something is forgotten (which happened to us) but far enough away from the noise when we wanted to relax. The room exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our first visit to Key West. We would definitely stay again.

Great stay in Key West!

My husband and I took a belated honeymoon trip to Key West for a week! This studio was perfectly located to any and everything we wanted to do in Key West. So much so that we rented a car and only used it once to island hop! The room was clean, cozy and air conditioned!

Location is great and easy check in!

The reviews of the couch are accurate, not comfortable to sit for long. The kitchen utensils look new. We didn’t cook. Only made coffee with the Keurig. AC works well and keeps the space cool. The space is clean and felt comfortable and safe. If you’re looking for luxury boutique this isn’t your space. If you’re looking for a great location and true Key West feel, this is a great place. Bring an eye mask if bright sunlight wakes you easily.

Convenient with Amenities, but should be called The Rooster’s Crow!!

Super easy check-in, with key in a lock box. Room was as pictured, with plenty of space and amenities in a studio apartment footprint. We were quite comfortable in the room and adjacent pool. Easy walk to Duval and Old Town attractions. Some of the furniture was worn, but generally fine. Kitchen has everything you need to cook basic meals. Nice breakfast bar, and lots of appliances like microwave, toaster, blender, etc. There’s a roomy bathroom, with a smallish shower stall. Great value for the price. My only complaint was with the loudly-crowing rooster that began around 4 am and didn’t let-up until 10 am! I was glad that I had noise-canceling headphones to help drown it out, but WOW. Anyone who has spent time in Key West knows about the roaming chickens, but this was the first place I have stayed where they were lurking outside my door in the courtyard…
