Reviewer Comments:
Excellent rental. We loved the artistic decor of the unit. Simple and perfect for a couple, although need to use stairs to access bedroom upstairs. No dining area, per se, but a decent and sunny built-in booth is used for eating in a sunny alcove with lots of windows. Kitchen was not updated and was pretty clean, but dishes and silverware in drawers were sometimes not so clean. Frig and stove very clean. Maybe add a toaster, in addition to toaster oven.The double bathroom sinks upstairs and downstairs gave a feeling of spaciousness. Bathrooms fine but not fancy. Laundry room was under the house and not very welcoming.Back patio was super great.Great location right across from Carmel Plaza and surprisingly quiet most of the time, except when they were doing work twice at night on the sewer there or something. The major complaint would be the driveway, which is very bumpy near the curb and can be hard to park, so smoothing out the driveway entry would be much appreciated. Otherwise, entire house is charming, beautiful and fun. A village life.
