The house was as described. Everything was updated inside with good furniture, beds, lighting and cookware. All was very clean and well-appointed. The bathrooms had all that you need and there were plenty of towels of all sizes. The exterior had good driveway parking, a very well- maintained front and back garden and some nice solar-lit light strings in the front yard. The backyard, while spartan, had plenty of room, numerous chairs, a large table and a Smoky Joe charcoal grill- minus the charcoal, lighter fluid and grilling utensils, but there are plenty of stores nearby where you can get supplies. The neighborhood is a nice residential area and has easy access to the freeway and Monterey. There are nice restaurants, coffee shops and stores nearby. I had one email exchange with the host and they replied immediately- very good communication!
I would definitely stay here again. It is an excellent value for the price!
