Artist House Key West

I found this spot because of the FANTASTIC reviews, and now, allow me add to the list! First of all, the location can't be beat - one block off of Duval street, minutes to Mallory Square, Hemingway House, etc. It's a beautifully restored historic property with great charm and character. Quaint rooms, each individually decorated, replete with every amenity. We were greeted by Carlos at check in who gave us a tour of the property. He showed us the communal kitchen area where they set up a "happy hour" every afternoon as well as a breakfast spread every morning - all included with the reasonable room rates! There's also a lovely rear courtyard with ample seating and a refreshing spa. One minor issue is the lack of parking on site, but there's a loading zone right in front where you can easily unload your vehicle, and ample FREE parking on the street within a block or two of the Hotel. Carlos even hopped on his scooter and led us to a parking spot so we wouldn't park in a restricted or pay area. We left the car there for the duration of our stay with no issues. Of course, there was no need to drive anywhere, because everything was walkable.We felt at home from the moment of our arrival, thanks to the wonderful staff. Carlos is a gem, his wealth of knowledge and attention to detail can't be topped. If you want a unique and hospitable spot at a reasonable price, the Artist House is worth a stop!
