We loved our stay at The Steinbeck Cottage! The cottage itself is absolutely charming, and it was like a sightseeing experience in itself. We enjoyed the information available about John Steinbeck when he owned the cottage, and the decorations around the place are so interesting and delightful. Staying at The Steinbeck Cottage was our first experience with Airbnb and everything about it was great! We are so, so glad that we went this route over a traditional hotel, since the cottage added so much more to our Monterey stay and ideally suited our group. Although the cottage is one bedroom, it never felt cramped as there is plenty of space. Four of us stayed there easily.
We cooked at the cottage and enjoyed some nice meals in the bright and pretty kitchen, and my daughter enjoyed reading curled up in a nook in the living room.
The location is great, with quick access to the Monterey Aquarium. We really appreciated the 2 passes to the aquarium that came with the stay and made good use of them. We had no trouble at all with parking on the street.
Amy was really nice and a joy to work with. She had all of the information available for our stay that we could possibly need. A great host and our many thanks to Amy!
