Joy's house is cute and cozy. The kitchen and living area is really nice, it is a great place to relax. Check in was a breeze, and there were lots of great suggestions for places to eat. It is pretty much within walking distance of all the Pacific Grove/Monterey highlights. Be aware, the house is old, the shower is tiny, and (unless we missed where they were kept) you might need to bring extra blankets of your own if you are visiting in the colder months. Or just ask Joy! We kept to ourselves, but she makes herself available if you need anything. I thought that was very nice. If you are looking for fancy and new, this isn't that kind of place. But if you are looking for a place to rest during a weekend getaway for two, it has everything you need.
