This was our second stay at Erik & Marina's place. Obviously we enjoyed our first stay enough to book again for a 5 night stay. It's a spacious & stylish studio apartment with everything we need and more. I especially like all the natural light coming in from windows in every direction. There are nice touches like coffee, snacks, breakfast items, and bread from a local bakery. It's a short drive to downtown Santa Cruz, the beach, great hiking trails, and plenty of excellent restaurants. Erik & Marina were very available if we needed them, but at the same time they gave us all the privacy we wanted. We would definitely book this place again when in the Santa Cruz area.
