Erika's cottage is absolutely stunning. Situated behind the main house, it is separate and therefore thoroughly private. The bed is amazingly comfortable and the shower is perfect. Erika left us breakfast supplies for two days (yoghurt, bread, jam, fruit) and even cookies upon arrival. The cottage is in Pacific Grove - from here, you can easily explore Monterey and Carmel by driving or Uber. There is also a bus stop just around the corner from which you can catch a bus to downtown Monterey to see the Aquarium or the Historic sector. The sea is very nearby too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wishing to explore the Monterey peninsula. It's really cosy and comfortable and Erika is a lovely host. We hope to be back one day!
