Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location but not the greatest property
First, the location across from the park and bay is great! Only a few minutes to Monterey or the 17 Mile Drive and road to Carmel/Big Sur.
The apartment itself is one of several in a building. There are quite a few steps to access. For us seniors, this was a bit difficult with luggage.
The interior feels small because the place is chock full of furniture, artwork and knick knacks. There are some nice art pieces but lost in the clutter. The kitchen is a disaster. Appliances are fine. But, nothing in the cupboards and drawers is organized. I preheated the oven and luckily checked inside as it was full of pots and pans, some of which I'm sure weren't oven proof. You couldn't find anything as there was no organization. A professional needs to empty the kitchen, assess what's needed, CLEAN thoroughly and put only the necessary stuff back in some semblance of order. We who rent VRBOs often do so to cook our own food.
The place wasnt really clean. It's too hard to clean with all the clutter. Couches, cushions and bedspread felt grimy. The cleaners, who weren't done when we arrived at check-in time, left rugs in the washer. We told them we'd finish those as we didn’t want to wait what ended up being almost 2 hours to finish washing and drying. The small rugs were so old they left a trail of disintegrated backing in the washer and dryer.
Sorry about this review but it has to be said.
