From our very first email, up until the end of our stay, Erika was the sweetest, most helpful host. This was our first airbnb stay, and it was lovely. The cottage is private, clean, and adorable. The location is close to anything you may need, or want to do. We utilized the Monterey Bay Aquarium passes (which was a $70 value!), and had a great time there, and in downtown Monterey Bay. The kitchenette had anything you would need. The breakfast was fresh, and yummy. But the bed, oh the bed was the most comfortable, spacious, snugglely bed I've ever slept in. Both my boyfriend and myself slept great, and that never happens. This place was just what we needed, and we would love to stay there again.
