Pros

Private entrances for each studio provide enhanced privacy

Quiet hours enforced from 22:00 ensure peaceful nights

Some units feature spacious layouts with up to 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms

Multiple dining options within walking distance, including The Green Pineapple Cafe and Ocean Grill & Bar (0.3-0.5 miles away)

Prime location near five attractions within a 5-minute walk

Cons

Guests must be at least 25 years old to stay at the property

“Papa'S Hideaway earns praise for its secluded feel just off Duval Street, a clever trick of landscaping that creates an oasis amid the bustle. The location puts both beaches and Hemingway's house within easy reach, and the apartments, complete with kitchens, provide a home-like feel. I suspect the barbeque area sees plenty of action.”
