I chose this place because it was dog friendly and seemed like a cute little home. I loved how the hosts were promptly responding back to my questions and concerns. Even though the studio is attached to their home, it is quite private. They say the walls are sound proof (hopefully they are) but I did hear some foot scuffles from our end. The home decor is very rustic but modern. I personally did not enjoy the bed. The mattress is so firm and any movement you make comes with a million creaky bed frame noises. The shower is also SOO tiny . For someone petite I’m sure it would be lovely. My boyfriend is 6’4” and he did not have any extra room. I loved the little private yard. Such beautiful plants. It is also quite small and unfortunately is not what I would call a “secured” yard. One of the times that I decided to run to the bathroom while my dog was outside, he managed to escape. Those large bushes they have on the right side act as a “wall” but are NOT secured. I have a full grown husky that managed to squeeze through that. I had to learn this lesson after frantically looking for my dog around this pitch dark neighborhood. So if you plan on taking your pup, do NOT assume this yard is secured. This of course was my fault and not the homes fault. I just thought I would share that so no one else looses their pup. Anyways, for a place that was dog friendly I enjoyed staying here. Maybe if the mattress and bed frame weren’t so terrible I would have absolutely loved it!! And yes it does come with 2 passes to the Monterey bay aquarium as well as a free parking pass to state beaches (we didn’t use theses perks).
