Mel's place is amazing! Such a perfect spot for our trip to Monterey. My friend and I went for a kayaking and sea otter watching long weekend adventure, and we absolutely loved staying in Pacific Grove at Mel's. Super clean, super nice, GREAT location close to everything, very comfy beds, perfect kitchen for our purposes, and tons of amenities. We particularly loved winding down at night with a glass of wine in the courtyard! Mel was a lovely and gracious host who checked on us more than once to make sure all was okay, but was not at all intrusive. I would absolutely stay here again and definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely home base from which to explore the coast. Thanks for everything, Mel - it was fantastic!
