This AirBnB is spectacular. It's located on the southern edge of town with all the hustle and bustle starting right out front.
We greatly enjoyed the sun rise over the Monterey hills through the front window, took our morning runs (and walks) on East Cliff drive overlooking the ocean, watched surfers catch waves in the bay from the balcony, and in the evening, strolled the beach promenade just down the street. Restaurants and grocery stores are within walking distance, or if you prefer a short drive.
The master bedroom is in the back of the unit where it's quietest. The kitchen is well equipped and adjoins the living room. The main room has high ceilings, giving the whole place a light and airy feeling. The "kids" room is downstairs, providing a bit of sound isolation, and includes it's own full bath.
The WiFi is quick, and along with the usual semi-infinite number of channels there are convenient HDMI cables for the TV.
Also, very important for popular vacations destinations, there are two dedicated parking spots in the gated parking area under the building.
This AirBnB strikes just the right balance of convenience, size, location and amenities. We will definitely return for another visit.
