Clean condo. The best shower! Updated bathroom and kitchen. Nice floor plan. Perfect Location to all Key West has to offer. Great pool access nearby. Suggest window coverings in living room area. Would definitely recommend.
This unit is perfect for people looking to explore Old Town Key West while having a quiet haven to return to at the end of the day. Walking to the middle of Duval Street takes only 5 minutes. Mallory Square and The Southernmost Point are less than a 20 minute walk.

Away from it All is not only in a great location but also offers most everything you need for an en extended stay! The property management was great to work with-from start to finish. The property is gated and secure, updated and clean. Having a W/D was HUGE for repeat over-packers turned light-packers, like us! Highly recommend!
Floors need to be washed, not just swept. Only had 2 wash clothes for showering, there was 5 of us in the condo. Asked for more, never got them. Nothing to wash or dry dishes with or wipe down counters or table. We were able to check in early and get extended check out. Which made the other small issues we had not a big deal. Would for sure stay here again.
Nice unit convenient to Old Town area. Well stocked kitchen and clean.
Master bedroom could use a new mattress and the place could use an overall spruce up but still a nice place to stay on Key West
Nice place, easy walk to the pool and nearby restaurants and bars. Staff was very accommodating, we had an early flight and were allowed to check in early because our unit was already ready for us! We would recommend renting a golf cart or scooters to get to the beach and some other spots a little farther away. Parking is easy, we had a reserved spot.

My wife and I rented this 2BR apartment for a week. What attracted us was the pool and an easy walk to Duval St. Check in and out was extremely easy, plus we asked for a late check out and that was approved quickly. The apartment was very clean, had a full kitchen which we didn't take advantage of, except for the refrigerator. Washer & dryer was a nice surprise, which we did use. Would definitely stay here again!

The unit was fine and equipped with the basics. Made for a comfortable stay but the unit could use to be updated. There is no dishwasher. The outdoor deck was nice. And the location is great. Close to Duval Street and Fort Zachary Taylor park. And a good value.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed in the Truman Annex before. We found these units to be basic condo units. They were clean and served the purpose. If your looking for luxury, look farther within the Annex. These units are best reserved for two to three people. There is only in one basic bathroom. It does have a hair dryer so you can save some space and weight in your suitcase. There were adequate towels provided. We contacted the company and asked for wash cloths and they were promptly delivered. There are also towels for the pool as well. There are two bedroom with surprisingly comfortable beds. The kitchen is more of a kitchenette than full kitchen. We were able to cook meals and have happy hour, but counter space is non existent. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans and utensils for use. There is cable with two small tv's. So if your used to big screens, prepare yourself. The Wi-Fi worked fine with no issues. If you are looking for views this unit is not for you as it is an end unit surrounded by parking lots. There are two porches with chairs to sit on. Take a short walk to a salt water pool that was always busy with people. There are plenty of lounge chairs as well as a few tables and chairs to sit at. There is a shaded area as well if you don't want to be in the sun. The complex is in a nice, quiet, gated area just two walking blocks to Duval St. For the price of a stay at a B&B in Key West you can have a nicer area and more private stay within the Truman Annex.

Away from it all was great. Location was great, clean, and well maintained. The bed was comfortable. Loved having the coffee maker, but had to buy filters to use it, which we left for future guests. We will definitely be interested in coming back same time next year.

Reviewer Comments:
this is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath unit. The rooms are rather small, the kitchen is very small with almost no counter space. It is well equipped,but when built, the permanent fixtures (counters, cabinets etc) were the bare minimum. There are 2 decks, one over the parking lot and the other in the back over a walkway.

Spacious living room and kitchen. Front and back decks are nice to switch between day and night. only a set of neighbors on one side since this is a corner unit which makes it nice as well.
If you're looking for a more quiet neighborhood with tropical surroundings than Truman Annex is perfect and within walking distance to the most popular attractions.
Good location, comfortable condo. Pool towels needed an upgrade so I bought a couple and left them for future guests.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Great location, but that’s it!!
The location is very convenient. However, the bedrooms are extremely small, there is no dishwasher, and all the mattresses need replacing. The so called queen master bedroom is barely big enough to accommodate two small adults. The TV’s are the size of computer monitors and the couch looks like it’s from the 70’s. Besides the convenient location, nothing else is appealing.
