We had a fantastic experience here. The central location and aquarium tickets were great, but what brought it from just good to fantastic was the personal touch that Sarah and Evan put in to our experience there. The room is great, with a very nice, large shower, ridiculously comfortable bed, and I especially enjoyed the vinyl collection we listened to while relaxing. The garden and surroundings/view make this a very serene place to relax and just enjoy each other's company (one of the reasons we loved this place is that there is no television). Also, Sarah had some fantastic recommendations about how to enjoy our time in Monterey and they were spot on. And lastly, we love us some Zeus. He got along fantastically with the dog we brought, and even hung out with us on occasion while we got ready to go enjoy the area. We would have stolen him, but that would've meant that we couldn't come back and stay here in the future, which we definitely plan to do.
