I would definitely recommend this rental. Good communication from Kevin. Great decorative touches, beats a vanilla hotel room for sure. The cottage has a kitchen along with a separate dedicated dining area. When you combine with the bedroom and sizable living room, you almost get twice the space of a comparably priced hotel room. Parking is easy to find on the street, and complimentary passes (for 2 adults) are provided to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Internet connection was reliable and fast. Great experience overall.
