I stayed at Mel's place for about a month, it has everything I needed and in a convenient and private location. The place is cute, but feels a little cluttered to me. The bedroom curtain is pretty thin which makes me a little uncomfortable, but thankfully the house appears to be in a pretty safe neighborhood and the backyard is private except for the carriage house across. I liked the place for allowing dogs, though I didn't end up bringing one, it was nice to have the option, however, the because of that, the house and the linen also smells like dog, so that's something to be aware of. Overall, I think it's a decent airbnb for the price for the monterey peninsula.
