It's a clean, charming 1904 Victorian; it's a cool space with beautiful, artisan workmanship. Don't worry, the shower works but you'll puzzle over it until you read the sign if you get the same room I had. :) And yes, all the other plumbing works very well; obviously they've done an excellent rehab. There is still cosmetic work remaining like painting but it is purely cosmetic. The hosts are very nice and responsive. The parlor in my building had silverware and wine glasses for guests. There is private parking so you do not have to park in the street although there is plenty of street parking if you so prefer. On a somewhat related note, I've lived and traveled throughout California since 1967. If I ever moved back I would move to Pacific Grove and not just for the location. It's the only town in California I've found that brings me back to my childhood when people said hello to passersby. I hope your experience is the same.
