The Monarch Home is a great place to stay if you are looking for a home away from home this is your place. It has all the amenities you would need for cooking, sleeping and even just hanging out and relaxing. It is in a great location close to the beautiful coastline, downtown Pacific Grove, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Cannery Row. The house is well lit and has a lot of natural light. It is clean, organized and comfortable. The only flaw we found was that it resides on the very busy scenic 17 mile drive which has quite a bit of daytime traffic. It didn't really bother us that much but we were only cued in because we had our two little who napped during the day. It was pretty quiet at night which was good. The communication with Anne was excellent, she was welcoming, friendly and helpful always responding to any questions promptly. This was our first experience booking with an Airbnb so we were extremely nervous. We couldn't have been happier with how nice it was and the entire experience. The Monarch Home has set the bar high for all of our future stays in other locations. We will definitely stay here again when in this area.
