Great location & affordable weekend getaway

9.0

Location was great, super quiet and everything you need is within reach (supermarket, gas stations, landmarks, etc.) this is a perfect weekend getaway place with an affordable price for the Florida Keys.

I don’t know if I had bedbugs or fleas in bed & couch (the cat was sleeping by my door every night) but I was itching all night. Also, the table was really wobbly & the extension had a gap, this caused me spill coffee all over the floor and chairs, I cleaned as much possible but I could only do so much.
