My wife and I took our mothers to Monterey to meet for the first time, and this was the absolute perfect house for us to do that. The place is situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood with ample parking, just a 10 min drive from the Aquarium and many other local attractions.
One of the most standout inclusions in the house is a really well appointed kitchen. We love to cook, and cooked at the house most nights. Not only is the kitchen equipped with really good quality equipment (including an electric kettle, air fryer and an electric whisk), but the pantry is stocked with flour, salt, sugar, etc., all clearly labeled and in clean tupperware containers.
Beyond that, the rest of the house is wonderful. All the bedrooms are spacious, clean, peaceful, and comfortable. The shared spaces are also great, including a sofa complete with reclining seats in the sitting room. We found ourselves wanting for very little; the house is fully equipped with hairdryers, q-tips, washing machine, steam iron, and so forth. There was even a bowl of oranges on the counter and cookie dough in the freezer waiting for us.
We had little need to contact the owners of the property, but when we did they were responsive and friendly. Next time we come to Monterey we will genuinely be contacting them to stay at their beautiful property once more.
