Jamie’s place is cosy and comfortable. It looked a bit dark in the photos, but actually the sun streams in the windows in the afternoons. There is an electric fire for chilly nights. The shower bath is small but spotless. There is no kitchen, but a mini fridge has eggs and yogurt, juice and milk. There is an electric teakettle and a coffeemaker, and a bowl of fruit, so you can easily have a light breakfast or a snack in the room if you don’t want to eat out for every meal.
The location is close to Asilomar, and just a few minutes’ drive from downtown Pacific Grove. It is on one of the main streets in that neighborhood, so there is a little truck traffic at times—take earplugs if you are especially sensitive to traffic noise. However, I found this little green house a relaxing retreat for resting up between excursions.
Jamie is a friendly and attentive host, quick to respond to questions and eager to supply whatever is needed.
