After having a bad first experience with an airbnb rental a few weeks ago and walking away from it I was considering canceling this. However, I am very glad I did not. It is a small but charming little cottage with a great location, less than a 5 minute walk to the ocean which had a great trail system. Plus being centrally located between Monterey and Carmel and vey easy to access the 17 mile drive. One of the problems I felt with the other airbnb was safety but this cottage has 3 gates you have to go through to get in and was very safe and peaceful. One of the things I liked was being able to open windows and the door and feel like you were outside as opposed to the typical hotel. Breakfast was served in the morning at whatever time you requested and very good. I will for sure come back here when in the area.
