Larry was a terrific host - the title of super host is well deserved. He greeted us when we checked in, walked us through all the various amenities in the room like how to operate the heat, the windows, etc. etc. It has a well stocked kitchen that in a closet including a microwave and a refrigerator and even some complimentary wine. There was a separate closet to hang our clothes and to hold the books and games he had to offer. There is a darling little garden to sit down (with a peek of the ocean) and a private entrance. What's really amazing, since California is so challenging with parking, is that you can park in his driveway. It's within walking distance of some things and a short drive to others. HINT: this has nothing to do with the accommodations but my husband and I wanted to go to the aquarium and found we couldn't because they were all sold out. If you are headed to Monterey and want to go to the aquarium or other sites, make reservations ahead of time.
