This cottage attached to the owners house is like a stay in a hotel room that has a small cooking area as well. Great views, very quiet, nice queen bed. It does have a small stove but no dishwasher and no disposal etc. But, with all the nice places to eat in Monterey, Carmel, and in Carmel Valley, who would want to cook. Minor issues were the can opener was broken and did not work and there were no extra light bulbs in the unit. Still, I rate the location, unit, view and quiet as equaling 5 stars.
