Drew was very accommodating to our schedule as we were there for a wedding at Inn of The Seventh Ray. The location was easy to find, had plenty of parking, private entrance to the apartment with a spectacular view! Drew met us as we were a bit early (sorry) so we enjoyed the view and great conversation with him about boat interests and motorcycles, painting and living in the mountains (as we do in Santa Cruz). Our apartment was immaculate, bed was very comfortable and cozy - we slept deeply! Had coffee and a bag of cookies (for the wife) and enjoyed that out on the deck with the view (ahhhhh!) Yes, there are stairs down to the apartment, and yes, you need to be able-bodied to do them, we had no problem and we are in our late 60's! We came and went freely, no need to bother the host or vise-a-versa. We will come here again, as we want to go back and do more exploring of such an intriguing and arts-filled area. And wow! 3 miles to the beach! It doesn't get much better than this!
