This place is a little gem. Tucked away on a quiet street in Pacific Grove, right next to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, it's a little aerie on top of the garage that looks right out into the greenery. Utterly private and still - you wouldn't know you were in a major West Coast tourist destination. The room was pleasant, the little kitchen with microwave and mini-fridge all that you needed, the bathroom and shower nice and modern, the bed comfortable. There was functioning heat you could turn on for those chilly mornings. One of the happy surprises was that the place had plenty of bright modern light - it wasn't one of those quaint little Monterey Bay Peninsula cottages with a few small low-brightness lamps. I was there to write, and the lighting was superb. One thing that didn't bother me, but could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues, is that you climb up to it through a tight little spiral staircase: lugging your baggage up builds up those muscles and your practice in keeping your balance! Great place, I would return in an instant.
