Studio Near Downtown - The Bartlum

Summary:
Welcome to the Bartlum, a historic and luxurious studio apartment just steps to Duval Street.

This studio, located on Caroline St, has been designed with comfort in mind, offering large windows for natural sunlight and plenty of space to spread out. Enjoy an updated kitchen, spacious bathroom, open concept layout, and all the hot spots of Key west within walking distance!

The Space:
This studio apartment is attached to a grand historic conch home and enjoys private access through a street-front courtyard. Enjoy the updated "chef's" kitchen with stainless-steel appliances that’s fully stocked with everything you need! Sip coffee in the morning from your Keurig coffee maker and take in the fresh Florida air in the outdoor seating area.

Have an extra guest or 2? No worries! The queen sized pull out sleeper sofa allows for comfortable sleeping for 2 and, allowing for a total of 4 occupants in the unit as a whole.

Guest Access:
Our contactless check-in procedure makes check-in easy. Guest will receive a personalized access code prior to arrival.

The Neighborhood:
Placed perfectly in-between Downtown and the Historic seaport, enjoy attractions like Mallory Square at sunset, Brightwild Adventures for a day out at the sandbar, Dante's Pool Bar and the Shipwreck and Mel Fisher Maritime Museum for some Key West History.

Half a block from Duval Street, The Bartlum, is steps away from Key Wests most famous bars and kitchens. Local’s favorite restaurants such as Fat Tuesdays, Irish Kevin's, Sloppy Joe's, Bagatelle and Two Friend’s patio are less than a 5 minute walk from your front door. Got a sweet tooth? Keep an eye out for Kermit’s Key Lime pie shop in the Historic Seaport known for the best Key Lime Pie in Key West, or grab some homemade fudge and candy from River Street Sweets.

Forgot something and or need a quick fix? Shorty’s Market has your last minute necessities for your weekend getaway. Just 2 blocks away you can also find Fausto’s food market for locally sourced groceries.

Getting Around:
One of the best parts of staying in Key West is how close in proximity you are to everything. Don’t feel like walking? Peddle your way to breakfast, or take a bike ride along the water at sunset. Rent your bikes from Fury or Island Bicycles who offer both pick up & drop off services to your home! Feel like you’re on island time when you rent from Minty’s where you can enjoy exploring Key West on a scooter or golf cart. In addition to these non-traditional modes of transportation, you can also Uber, Lyft or Taxi to your next destination. Pink Taxi is an easy, reliable and affordable way for getting to your rental from the airport.

Unfortunately, there is no on-site parking for this unit.
For overnight parking here are some parking lots:
• 204 Simonton Street (This is right around the corner from your unit and the most affordable on the island!)
• Caroline Street Outdoor Parking Lot
• Park N Ride Old Town Garage
Street parking information:
• Street parking varies, from metered spots to free spots to residential. Please note: do not park in any spots marked "residential" they are for Key West Residents only and you can get a ticket.

Stunning Studio

We recently enjoyed a fantastic stay in Key West, and I can't recommend it enough! The location was absolutely perfect, allowing us easy access to all the main attractions, beaches, and restaurants without being too far from the vibrant nightlife. The studio itself was a delight. It was impeccably clean and well-appointed, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The decor was charming, creating a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, from the comfortable bedding to the well-equipped kitchen, which made meal prep a breeze.Overall, our experience was wonderful, and it made our trip to Key West truly memorable. If you're looking for a great place to stay in this beautiful destination, this studio is a fantastic choice!

Quiet stay, close to everything

Really enjoyed our stay here. There was the plus of being able to do a quick wash of laundry and being so close to everything we wanted to do. It was never a problem getting back to the place to do quick drop offs, a change of outfit or a quick nap. Check in was fine and check out was very easy.

Immaculate and great location

Wonderful place. We had the ease of walking everywhere we wanted to be. The bed was super comfy and the place was immaculate. **I do wish there were some darker shades for those key west hungover mornings.** but still 5 star place.

Perfect Location/

We enjoyed our stay at The Bartlum tremendously. You walk out your door and you are a block away from Duval Street and three blocks away from Mallory Square. We did not have a car so we really appreciated being in that prime location. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom very roomy. We were missing a battery in one of the remotes and within 10 minutes of my phone call, someone was at our door with a battery. I highly recommend this property. We hope to go back again soon!

Never Brightwild again

We have stayed at two separate brightwild properties in Key West last year and this year. Same experience so we know these were not anomalies. Out of respect for the owners we will not leave a review because it will not be good. Your mileage may very. Would definitely not recommend if you’re coming down just for a weekend.

Awesome Location

Loved the location of the property. Check in didn’t go smooth… but called and got someone really quick to help…. The pictures definitely make the unit look larger than it actual is though. We had a broken air conditioner so that was an issue and we were lucky the evenings were cool. Floors were not very clean. Need to keep flip flops on and inside of bathroom door needs a good magic eraser! Other than that, stay was great.

Perfect location!

My wife and I stayed here and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The location was great for getting to Duval, great restaurants, and checking out the yachts at the docks. It’s close to all the spots we wanted to go. It’s a very quiet, nice and clean, pretty area. It’s a great place for a couple to stay. Comfortable sized place, nice kitchen, and nice bathroom with big shower and good water pressure. If I were to make any constructive comments… the mattress is pretty soft and maybe slightly concave (but we’re also used to firm mattresses), the air conditioner is not the quietest thing in the world (I think a mini split would be a nice upgrade). Note.. still gave it 5 stars because overall it was great! As the hosts mention in the description, there’s no on-site parking… but the parking on Simonton was very close. It ranged from $25-40 a day (9am to 9am). Ana’s Cafe Cubano has great coffee in the morning. Bagatelle was one of our favorite dinner spots. MoonDog and Banana Cafe were incredible breakfast spots. The day we left, we stopped at the Cuban Coffee Queen and had an awesome Cuban sandwich! Highly recommended!
