This property was a nice, centrally-located spot for exploring Carmel-by-the-Sea. There were a couple of cosmetic blemishes in our room (a small hole at the bottom of the outside panel of the door, and a crack in the porcelain of the bathroom sink). There was also no air-conditioning, though while we were there, it was not needed. The room was spacious and comfortable. Overall, an enjoyable stay.
