L'HABITATION GUESTHOUSE- ADULT EXCLUSIVE, Key West

The property sits 600 metres from Mallory Square and the Key West Aquarium, making sunset views and waterfront activities easily reachable on foot. Fort Zachary Taylor beach is a 10-minute walk, while the Hemingway House and Southernmost Point are within 15-25 minutes. Key West International Airport is 5 km away. There is no airport shuttle, and the lack of on-site parking means most guests rely on walking or biking (bike rentals are available nearby for about $10/day). The street in front has a 15-minute loading zone for luggage, and free residential parking can be found east of Simonton Street.

Room types range from double rooms (with one or two beds) to a two-bedroom suite with a kitchenette (refrigerator and microwave). Some rooms have a seating area with a sofa, and a few lower-level units offer a small private patio. The Deluxe King rooms (two total) are considered the quietest, especially Room 17. Rooms adjacent to the front entrance or on the ground floor are significantly noisier, with sound carrying from the hallway, breakfast setup, and upstairs foot traffic on wooden floors. Some bathrooms are very small with no counter space and poor water pressure. Periodic maintenance issues such as torn shower curtains, water-damaged ceiling finishes, and scuffed walls have been reported. For a restful night, request a room at the back of the property or on the upper floor.

Breakfast is served from around 8:00 AM in the entry hallway, with a buffet of croissants, fresh fruit, cereals, protein bars, boiled eggs, yoghurts, cheese, orange juice, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Guests eat on the front porch, the upstairs terrace, or in their room. Coffee and a water dispenser are available all day. The complimentary happy hour from 15:00 to 17:30 offers wine, vodka with mixers, and snacks. The property does not have a restaurant, but Duval Street dining is within a 2-minute walk. The two-bedroom suite includes a kitchenette for basic meal preparation.

Leisure options are limited to the on-site offerings: a daily happy hour with complimentary wine and cocktails, and free temporary art galleries that occasionally exhibit works. There is no swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre. For beach access, Fort Zachary Taylor is about a 10-minute walk. The property encourages guests to enjoy the garden, outdoor furniture, and the second-floor terrace for relaxation. Bicycle rentals are available from nearby companies for independent exploration.

Internet access is complimentary throughout the property. Daily housekeeping is included. Luggage storage is available at the front desk before check-in and after check-out, enabling free exploration of the area. A safety deposit box at reception provides security for valuables. Concierge service assists with parking advice (free street parking east of Simonton Street, paid lots nearby, and metered street parking at $5/hour), restaurant recommendations, and bike rental bookings. There is no on-site laundry, but a laundromat is a 10-minute walk away. The property is fully non-smoking, with CCTV and smoke alarms for safety.
