Ellen’s place was perfect! It was quiet, peaceful, sparkling clean, beautifully decorated, and perfectly located. The beds, so comfortable, as well as the couches and chairs.
Beyond the perfection of her home, Ellen was the consummate host. Of the many airbnbs we have been to, she is the best host. She checked on our arrival time and asked if we needed early check in, when we told her we’d be coming later she left all the lights on in the house. We were delighted to find a gift bag upon our arrival, but beyond that, she had fresh flowers cut, and gave us a generous late checkout. We felt so welcomed.
Finally, the neighborhood is lovely. It’s walkable to everything and neighbors seem to know each other. We watched as the garbage men return the cans from the street back to the plot, and as a neighbor gave Christmas cards to the garbage men. Ellen even had a neighbor deliver some bread during our stay!!
If we ever come back to Pacific Grove or Monterey, we will stay with Ellen again!
