Jane's condo was nice and clean. I didn't cook or grill, but her kitchen is well equipped. We ate out most of the time and the restaurants in town are about 15 minutes away. The view outside of the balcony is beautiful. You see the Pajaro River to the left, protected sand dunes in the middle and the Monterey Bay on the right. The orientation of the balcony allows the morning sun as well as the afternoon sun to shine on it! When it got windy, I opted to sit inside on the swivel chairs to face the water. The WiFi was ok for casual phone use but for laptop use it was slow enough that I opted to use my phone's data connection as a hotspot instead (T-Mobile with 2-3 bars). The mattress is on the firm side.
