Great location for exploring both Monterey and Carmel. Quiet neighborhood, distant road noise but only audible when outside. Great outdoor seating with firepit and a hot tub to enjoy. Unit is small, but our family of 4 were never uncomfortable. Doors open wide to deck, extending living area to outdoors. Teenage kids were comfortable on murphy bed and sofa sleeper. Great bedding, fresh and soft. Thoughtful touches throughout. Unexpected extras like bathrobes and beach chairs and umbrella. Well stocked kitchen with all necessay dishware and cookware, plus extra supplies like spices and ziplock bags. Upstairs unit did create minimal noise of footsteps. It was not bothersome for us as the renters were otherwise quiet, but could be nuisance if renters were loud or running around late. Host and property manager were very responsive and helpful. We had issue an with the tub not draining well and a repair was made. We felt very comfortable, safe, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend this home.
