We needed to be in Santa Cruz overnight and found very pleasant accommodation in Pete and Cathy's home. We never met Pete, but found Cathy warm and welcoming. The room has its own door out to a lovely garden. Had we more time, it would have been lovely to sit and read on the back deck or make use of the bicycles. Cathy and Pete have made every effort to make the room comfortable. The bed for those who care is quite soft with a memory foam topper and optional heating pads. I found it cozy, but my husband would have preferred something more firm. The coffee, pumpkin bread and New York Times in the morning were a lovely addition to our experience.
