I highly recommend staying with Patrick (and Bronx, the supersweet dog.) I was fortunate enough to have Patrick's dad there at the same time as he and I went for several meals and a scooter ride together around part of the island that I would never have known to go to. A couple days later, Patrick came out on a ride as well (with his Harley) and our two scooters and yet again I saw parts of the island which I never would have known to visit - and all of these were stunning locales. I truly felt like I was staying with family. As a solo traveler, I very much appreciated the ability to sit on the couch and watch TV with these guys, and Bronx hanging out as well. And the location is phenomenal. Right in the middle of all the city has to offer. There were several restaurants and bars literally outside the front door. There was ample Scooter parking as well.
