This place is a wonderful, one level house that seemed great for my elderly parents and children to share for a weekend in Monterey. It’s hard to find an affordable house to rent in the area so this place seemed like a great option. The owner was very nice at first, he even stopped by after we arrived to meet us and ask if it was okay if a crew worked on a fence outside, which was considerate. But after one night, we began to notice things that were disappointing: the dishwasher wasn’t working, the bedrooms were freezing, the large plant in the living room was covered in a bug infestation, there was a large rip in the main entrance screen door (indicating an attempted break in), no knobs or pulls on any of the kitchen cabinets and drawers, and a horrible smell coming out of the drains. When we noticed these things, I sent a courteous, private message to the friendly owner, alerting him of these issues in hopes to have at least one of them resolved or at the least acknowledged. The friendly man NEVER Responded after that message. He completely ghosted me and was no longer responding to my messages. What started out as a decent trip turned into a bummer, all because he couldn’t acknowledge the issues we discovered and make any effort to resolve them. Also, all of the sheets and blankets were cheap polyester and between that and the lack of heat in the bedrooms, I barely slept here. All of this is to say that I would not stay here again nor recommend this place.
