We were upgraded to Williams cottage, which was lovely. Separate bedroom with bathroom and then living room and kitchen. The property is only a 15 minutes walk to Duval Street and is in a quiet neighbourhood. It was an excellent base for exploring Key West.

We were lucky to find a room at Author’s during Spring Break season. Stayed as a family of 3 in the Wilder room and it was spacious enough. Rooms are kept very clean and the overall place feels very comfy. Breakfast was good enough with bagels, coffee, yogurt, boiled eggs and cereals.
