This is my first AirBNB experience, and what a great one!
I had my own private gate, with a private entrance. The deadbolt to my front door was opened with a four digit code. This is much more convenient than having a key, because there's no worry of locking yourself out. I was delighted that my front porch was covered, with a little table, and three chairs, surrounded by a beautiful garden, overlooking an iconic view out over Santa Cruz from a hilltop.
Inside, the room initially delighted, and continued to delight. Everything was as advertised, and hoped, and then exceeded expectations. In the bedroom, there's a comfy bed with four fluffy pillows, and three accent pillows, two little side tables, a comfy chair, a table with a great TV, and a little fridge, with a Brita pitcher of water inside. The windows have folding sail style shades that block out most of the light, and are great for sleeping, and privacy. The floors are gorgeous tile, with an area rug.
The bathroom area has two pedestal sinks, a gorgeous tub, a glassed in stand-up shower, vent fan, and a Keurig single-cup coffee maker. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, cotton swabs, cotton balls, bold coffee pods, and creamers are all provided. The towels are lovely, thick and fluffy, and there are plenty of them. Showering is a delight in the spacious stall with a big showerhead high up. The tub is amazing. It fills quickly, and is absolutely luxurious (please note that house rules say, no salts, etc).
The toilet is off the hall on it's own behind a pocket door, with a light and vent fan.
The TV is a Roku interface with access to apps. You can use YouTube without an account, and I created a PBS account, and enjoyed watching shows at times. Mostly I used my laptop with the provided WiFi to watch anything on my laptop. The WiFi is excellent.
The location is perfect for walking lots of places. Parking within a block was never a problem. Easy access to everywhere. I picked up food to go for lunch one day, and ate on my porch, in the sun, in the garden. I watched squirrels, blue jays, humming birds, and an oriole. This is a beautiful room to stay in, and I would be happy to come back.
