My wife and I brought our two toddlers to Monarch Home and had a truly wonderful experience. Anne has really set everything up so that you can walk right in and get down to the serious business of relaxing. Everything you need is there, is labeled, is meticulously clean, and makes you feel immediately at home. Great location for roaming around the Monterey peninsula, seemingly close to, well, everything. The two adult passes to the aquarium were like icing on the cake. My kids even discovered Lincoln Logs in the basket of kids toys, yet another example of Anne's fantastic attention to detail that helps make this spot so wonderful. This is truly a space that made us feel like we were in our own 2nd home. We definitely want to return to Monarch Home! And, beyond the home itself, Anne is a such a communicative and thoughtful host, it makes the administrative work of checking in and checking out of the space a breeze. This was our very first Airbnb stay and I have to say that Anne has set the bar very high all around!
