Looks just like the pictures and AMAZING kitchen! One of the best kitchens of any vacation rental I have ever stayed in - right down to a full spice rack and ziplock bags! The space was sparkling clean and filled with light, amazing houseplant in the living room. I felt very much at home. Another reviewer mentioned it is walkable to Carmel - the distance was completely doable, but after dark the streets in between are poorly lit, with no streetlights and a lot of stretches with no sidewalk (just something to consider, I stayed in the fall when dusk comes early). The hosts were very responsive to my questions. I would recommend this cozy space.
