My family visited the Steinbeck Cottage to celebrate a special occasion and get away for a few days. It was our first Airbnb experience and couldn't have felt more welcome. The home was warm and very inviting and was a welcome change from the usual hotel. Kevin was a fantastic host and made sure all our needs were met, and then some. Yes, tall individuals should watch their heads, but that adds to rustic charm of the cottage. The attention to detail was impeccable. A car is needed if you need to make your way into Carmel, Pebble Beach, or Big Sur, however, a great deal of Monterey was within walking distance. We would gladly stay again.
