We loved our stay and would come back to the area in a heartbeat! The location was perfect--we could walk to the aquarium (and use the house's free passes) and everything Monterey has to offer. The house is 2 blocks from the water and we enjoyed many beautiful walks to see the famous seals and otters and whales. The house is also a quick 15-20 minute drive from the amazing restaurants and beaches in Carmel by the sea. While there wasn't a good dinner table indoors, the outside patio was lovely including the fire pit and table. If the weather is good, the apartment is perfect.
