We had a one week stay with adult kids...Lilian's house was very colorful inside with a peaceful garden outside. The patio chimes and fountain created a calming space. It was great to have communal spaces downstairs and bedrooms upstairs, so that each of us could have private space when we needed it. The door to the patio allowed the fresh air inside. The big dining table was helpful for us all to eat together. We did miss having an outdoor grill, but the kitchen was fine. Another great week in Santa Cruz!
