We really enjoyed our stay at Pacific Grove while driving down Highway 1. Cute little hotel-style Airbnb with private rooms, which was perfect for what we were looking for. The location is easy - less than 10 min drive from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and a quick walk out to the water at Lover’s Point. There are restaurants in the area, a few blocks away, but close relatively early, so be prepared to venture out a bit if you arrive later in the evening. The room itself was cozy and had all the amenities we needed for an overnight stay.
