Paul has stellar reviews and they are spot on! He responded very quickly to all of my messages (usually within a few minutes) and gave great tips and suggestions. I had mentioned wanting to visit the aquarium and he provided a link with a code for discounted tickets. He also knew we were coming from San Francisco and told us about areas we might want to explore en route.
The house is even better than the pictures. Very clean and roomy. The kitchen was so much better than I expected. When he says it is well-stocked he's not exaggerating! I'm used to rentals where the knife set is cheap and will barely slice through a tomato. He had high quality items and more than I expected from a rental. He also provides some snacks and breakfast items for you to enjoy.
I didn't realize there was a washer/dryer set. Tucked away in a closet in the master bath so it's not in your way. LG high efficiency large washer/dryer. Nicer than my LG set at home!
One suggestion re: directions - Google maps will get you to the 999 David Drive in Pacific Grove. If you use Waze, even if you type in the Pacific Grove address, it will redirect you to the one in Monterey, which is very close by. If you pull up to a blue house, you're at the wrong one!
We were so pleased with the location. Groceries and food establishments less than a mile away. The places we visited were no longer than a 10 minute drive. Couldn't have picked a better location!
