We absolutely loved our stay at the house. Dean was always very responsive and a helpful contact. We never met but on arrival I found a few lovely welcoming touches including a personal note. That level of thoughtfulness can be found throughout the house; as well as the usual things you would expect in a homestay, e.g., kitchenware, towels, etc, there were some other very thoughtful touches as well, e.g., a couple of family card games, an umbrella, washing powder (thank you so much for this!) and an emergency torch. The house itself and all the amenities are exactly as described. Watch out though, the washing machine gave a huge painful squeak on a couple of occasions that made me jump :-). The decor itself is charming and of a very high quality.
The house is in a wonderful location. As well as the fantastic sea view shown in the photos, this is four minutes away from an electric bicycle rental, a fantastic breakfast spot called 'First Awakenings' in a little mall and just a couple of minutes further on is the amazing Monterey aquarium. It's on a busy road in a popular spot so the driveway parking is a huge boon.
I highly recommend this fantastic property and a big thank you to Dean for his hospitality.
