My stay at The Artist House was a good experience, highlighted by the really good service from Carlos and the beautiful historic charm of the hotel. The location was ideal—just a short walk to Duval Street—allowing me to enjoy the vibrant Key West atmosphere while returning to a peaceful retreat. However, the breakfast could use some improvement, as there were limited options for dietary restrictions, which didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, it was a charming stay with some room for enhancement.
