Our neighborhood is in the cuban section of Key West at the turn of the century. The main house was built in the 1870's and served as a cuban cigar Baron's mansion with his workers housed around him. The 2nd oldest salt water tide pool existed on the property. The oldest being Hemingways pool only blocks away. Across the street from us, It is worth mentioning , the cemetery that represents the sinking of the Maine in Cuba , that started the war of 1812. The cemetery is a New Orleans above ground type. Walk to your favorite neighborhood coffee house or grab a beer at the convenience store across the street.

No need to drive anywhere from our location. If you chose not to walk, there is bike, scooter, and golf cart rentals available. There is also a free bus that circles the downtown district. A great way to learn more about Key West is through the Conch train Tour.

Great stay, would book it again. The parking isn't guaranteed (there isn't one with "this" unit), but they usually can get you one (they have two, and if one of the others flew in, etc.). Charles was able to get us one, and it was great. He also offered to move his car and trade us (there are two non-resident ones nearby that could be held, I guess). There really is no parking anywhere so you walk everywhere and leave your car. This unit is near the cemetery, a 5/6 block walk down Olivia to Duval. We walked everywhere. Unit has a Keurig, a small number of dishes/wine glass/mugs, as well as listed appliances. The pool was great to cool off, and we only briefly saw other guests from the other two units. It seems bigger than the pictures make it look. Charles was great at communicating, and we said hello each morning as we walked by his porch. He gave great local suggestions. Karen was there when we arrived and directed us to the parking. Cute Cuban coffee shop just blocks away on the corner of Truman/Center for breakfast, lots of other things close too. Can pretty much walk to anything in less than about 8 blocks (South Point, New Harbor/Old Harbor, Mallory, Hemingway, etc.) Thanks, Charles, for a great stay. We'll look to book again next time we're back.

Absolutely the whole package on Key West! Amazing location with walking distance to EVERYTHING and at the same time a quiet, cozy place to relax between events, bars, restaurants, and everything else! Would recommend to all our friends!

Al Hembra was very comfortable and private. The beautiful property is away from the hustle and bustle of Key West, but within easy walking distance to most notable attractions. The bed was very comfortable, and the Florida room was a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Charles, the host, was always responsive to texts and Karen was on the property to assist with our check-in.

Great location

We had a great stay and enjoyed our time in Key West. The rental is in a really great location, within biking / walking distance to many things. Worth noting that it's not a full kitchen which was fine for us, but we ended up eating out a lot. The pool was also a nice plus to beat the heat.

Getaway

Loved the place and Charles was very gracious and helpful as this was our first time in Key West. We drove to unit, never drove our car for the rest of the week. Location was great and close to old town area. The house and garden areas were great and gave you that Island feel. We had a great week and this place was a big part of that.

Relaxing, quiet stay.

Advanced info about the free Duval Loop bus would have been helpful. Pool wasn't open(April6-9). Only sink was in bathroom. AC/heating efficient. Covered parking on site was great.
