Our room was nicely furnished, and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Very peaceful. Prooerty is about .6 miles from the center of old Key West and the nightlife. It's an easy walk from the property, and we appreciated being able to have a quiet place to rest and sleep.

Good location

The Porch is a well taken care of property and the location is good. It was easy to get around Old Key West for the location. The room was small and the bathroom was small but everything was updated and very clean. The person running the Porch was very nice and very helpful.
