Pacific Grove is the wonderful old town full of quirky houses and quirky histories to go with them. This house is the perfect Pacific Grove experience. It has some unusual features but is completely functional and very comfortable. We did some on-line work while we were there and the internet connection is good. The balcony is small but offers a nice view of the bay and that quick view of the bay gave me a little happy flash every time I walked past the balcony door. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. I walk every morning and the houses are fun to see and most mornings I also spotted at least one deer---often many different deer. It is an easy walk to the water and to downtown. Kristin is a great host and everything was easy. She responded quickly when we had a minor problem.
