We loved our stay at Ella's! The location was perfect, our room was beautiful and clean, the breakfast basket was way better than we imagined it would be. Having parking on site was great, the property is vibey in an awesome secret garden sort of way. Will absolutely return when we come back to Key West!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
In the case of this property historic means tired. At least in the cottage we stayed. The floor had cheap vinyl flooring with noticeable broken boards. The patio I paid extra for was covered in leaves and not a pleasant place to sit and have breakfast. The upside is this place is about a 15-minute walk from everywhere we wanted to go.
