Great Location!
We enjoyed our stay at the Little Hemingway House. It is a great location and a beautiful home. It is only one block off of Duval which was great! It is also close to our three favorite restaurants (Mam's, Blue Heaven, and Santiago's Bodega). We also really appreciate that the property is pet friendly. The owners have only had the home for a few months and have done a nice job so far. However, there are still some improvements that can be made. Most things were minor. Our biggest complaint is the smaller of the three bedrooms on the main floor. It is very small with less than a foot between the wall and the bed, there is no TV, the AC is in the closet and is extremely loud, and it does not have a true door so there is not a lot of privacy and it can be difficult to sleep since you can hear everything going on in the living room and kitchen. Furthermore, the only showers are in the two bedrooms upstairs so the people in the small bedroom downstairs must go through another bedroom upstairs to use a shower. Our other complaint is the vegetation in the yard is not properly maintained. I emailed the owner regarding this midway through our stay and I did not receive an email back and it was not taken care of. While not a complaint, the driveway only fits two vehicles, not three like the property description stated. Perhaps three Fiats would fit. This is a beautiful property but I believe that with some more effort from the owners that it can be even better.
