Sarah and Evan are amazing hosts. From the very beginning of our communications through the entire stay they made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions. Both Sarah and Evan were unfortunately under the weather when we visited, but despite all that Sarah took an extraordinary amount of time to explain to us points of interest in the neighborhood, where to eat given our preferences, and even EXACTLY where to park when visiting the Monterey Bay aquarium, all of which was immensely helpful.

Their dog Zeus is also a joy. He hung out with us the apartment every once in a while, very much tolerant of, if not confused by, our pup who has the gift of sight!

The neighborhood is extremely quiet so you'll not have any issues with noise. It is on a hill a bit away from downtown so I would personally recommend a car so you can get around to Pacific Grove/Carmel/Monterey with ease.

One of the highlights was the off leash dog beach that Sarah told us about- we headed down there with our dog for the sunset and at the end ran into Zeus, Sarah, and her two children. It was fun to see that we had similar interests and this made us feel even more at home.

In all, we would greatly recommend this place to anyone that's looking for a place to stay in the area. Between the hospitality, the quality of the room, and the record player (!), we had a real blast.

Thank you again Sarah and Evan for hosting us - we hope to come back and visit again for a longer stay!
