Ismael's home in Pacific Grove was better than expected! The house itself is very nice, decorated tastefully and functionally. The kitchen has everything you need. The small backyard was great with its special lighting, new patio furniture, and barbeque; the tall gas heating lamp was perfect for staving off the February chill while enjoying our cocktails. You can walk everywhere-we walked down to Lover's Point, and all the way to Cannery Row which is only about 30 minutes-walk away, to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary and John Denver's Memorial/Beach, and to a good, local restaurant-Pepper's Mexicali Cafe- for dinner with our daughters. I was a bit worried about only having street parking, but it turned out there were plenty of spots. We drove to Point Lobos where we saw dozens of Risso's Dolphins which the Ranger said was rare, and whale spouts; we hiked Garrapata State Park. I would highly recommend Ismael's home-it's a great value, super cute and comfortable. We'll be back!
