The John Steinbeck college is a really cute and cozy cottage right in the heart of Monterey. The decor is charming and everything was exactly as expected from the pictures. Kevin & Vicky left thorough instructions for how to get to the cottage and how to get in and even checked in to make sure everything was going okay! We never saw them but they did a great job from afar.

One note is that the cleaning fee is quite high and there is an additional $39 charge that is added as a "city occupancy fee." I can't find any reference to this anywhere else on the internet so I wish they could have been more specific as to where it came from.
