First and foremost, Pedro and his wife Alexandra are wonderful hosts. They made us a very warm. welcome upon our arrival with wonderful little welcome gifts. The house was given to us in an excellent condition: very orderly and absolutely clean. Pedro and Alexandra would always reply promptly whenever we asked for their assistance. Santa Cruz is a nice coastal town. Great beaches, relaxing city center. Restaurants and supermarkets are all within walking distance. We liked the fact that Santa Cruz is not so touristy. Many locals enjoy their free time there. Overall a great experience for my family (including three little ones) and me. I absolutely recommed this place!
