Elaine's place is great! We stayed at Monterey for two days, and they hosted as warmly at the Christmas Eve! The host is very humorous because I never meet an Airbnb host said "the owner is no longer living here anymore" when I knock the door. Also the hostess is very kind and asked us whether we feel comfortable when we come back in the raining day. That's a sweet couple. BTW their puppy is so cute! I highly recommend Elaine's room for the Monterey visitors, considering both the great landlord and wonderful location!
