Great spot to visit Monterey! Everything is just about a 5-10 minute drive away. The apartment itself is nice and it worked perfect for us because we spent most of our time out and about. It would be a little tricky if you were planning to cook and eat every meal at home since there aren't that many dishes, and the one thing I would've really loved was another outlet or a power strip near the TV, but none of that changed the quality of our trip. Super easy to check in and out and was just right for a short stay for four students trying to experience as much of Monterey Bay as possible. The best surprise about the apartment was the endless hot water! After swimming in the freezing cold ocean, it was amazing that all four of us were able to come home and shower without running out of hot water. This apartment likely wouldn't be the best if you're hoping to spend most of your time inside, but overall I found it great and it was perfect for us.
