My partner and I stayed at Shelby's place for a week and it was the best base to explore Santa Cruz and its surrounding areas from. Shelby was very easy to reach, the place was very clean and had everything you could need for a short to long-term stay. We also loved the extra touch of the bike to help us get around. Shelby's place is also in such a great location in Santa Cruz and so convenient to the beach and to all the hikes in the area. We would definitely stay again if we are back in the area!
