It would have been good enough just to stay in a house once owned by John Steinbeck. But our stay was much more than that. The house is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood that is close enough to walk down to Cannary Row, shops, and the beach... Yet somehow feels remote and even rural. I saw a deer in front of the house one morning, for example. The house fit our family of four quite comfortably, and was clean with plenty of amenities. We will certainly look to stay there again.
