Easy Getaway with great hosts

My wife and I stayed in Carmel for our first time.Location and neighborhood is perfect. Not far from Safeway Grocery store to get the essentials.Check in was super easy and the communication with the host was instantaneous. We received many recommendations and guidance.Upon our arrival, we found a bottle of red wine waiting for us. :-) Coffee and water (sparkling and still) was also provided! The kitchenette is well stocked to make a sandwich or salad. The bed was comfortable. It is a queen size. We normally sleep in a King but for 4 nights we survived.The front yard is lovely and has plenty of options to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine.All in all we loved it and would come back someday!

Nice property, beautiful neighborhood

Very hospitable hosts. Provided coffee and other beverages. A couple suggestions: please provide a motion sensor light near the entry door - returned one evening, it was dark and struggled with the key for a few minutes (hands were full and could not access phone flashlight). Also, the mini fridge should have an “open here” sign, pointing to the left side - both my husband and I opened the door from the top and scraped our knuckles - ouch!

We enjoyed our two-day stay at the Petite Papillon rustic studio in Carmel by the Sea. The hosts worked to ensure we enjoyed our stay by providing us with fresh fresh ground coffee, a bottle of chilled wine and numerous recommendations for dining, activities and sightseeing.
