"Once inside the gates of the property, we were met by a lush patio oasis with a beautifully appointed and clean room."
"The grounds are lush and very tropical with a very convenient location on Truman Ave. (just a few blocks from Duval St)"
"The B&B also had a small fridge constantly filled with cold water bottles, which were a godsend for all our walks."
