Anne's Monarch House is a lovely (most comfortable) home - there was plenty of space for two couples.(2 queen beds/2 separate bathrooms and a complete kitchen with a table for 4!) We loved that it was so close to "downtown" Pacific Grove (such a quaint town) and to (our fav) Trader Joe's. It was the perfect location for all of our day trips...down Highway 1 to Big Sur, 17 Mile Dr and Pebble Beach, wine tasting in Carmel and Carmel Valley, and a walk through Cannery Row. We were pleasantly surprised by all the food "basics" in the fridge and cupboards - great compliment to our snacking. Anne was quick to communicate and stayed in touch with us. Yes, the house sits right on 17 Mile Dr - a busy street (especially during rush hour), but traffic noise was NOT an issue. It wasn't until our last day....when we visited the Monarch Sanctuary....that it dawned on me why she named the house "Monarch House." ; ) Great house / Great value.
