Easter weekend stay
Room 3 - with the bath did not have a shower and the room was smaller and a bit older than expected (or as seen from the pictures). There's a bit of a damp smell. We could hear noise from the streets and other rooms but luckily most guests were quiet. The location is great if you wanted to hang around Florida road or South Beach. Having internal parking was great, I didn't have to worry about my car. The manager/owner was great to deal with. He was friendly. No issues checking in and out. In fact he was ready when we arrived early at around 12pm.

Noisy
We stayed in a room alongside a communal lounge/patio. Both nights there was loud partying going on until the early hours despite a policy of no noise after 8pm. Management made little effort to intervene. On checking out they apologised and offered to refund my stay. I have not received the refund.

Staff are very friendly and helpful, it has a very homey feel. The rooms are very clean and the breakfast is great. There is a fully equipped kitchen available to all guests, a fully stocked bar area and the pool is sparkling. There is a lot of security for the property, the only downside is that the area feels slightly unsafe and the nightclub up the road blares music til all hours of the night/morning (obviously not the guest house's fault - however if you are a light sleeper the area is probably not for you).
