Amie's place is lovely! My wife and I just spent a glorious weekend in her wonderful cottage, which is a very short walk to the beach, parks, and a 10-15 minute walk to downtown Monterey. It's also right at the start of 17 mile drive, which is perfect. Amie is a great host as well - her place is clean and well appointed, she has a great personal touch with flowers, a bottle of wine, some snacks, a welcome note, and guidebooks for the surrounding area. Highly recommended!
