We had a great time in the, "Lovely Central Santa Cruz" home. It worked perfect for us. Everything was as described, it was clean and very comfortable. We felt very welcome by the hosts and were able to easily enjoy a lot of variety that Santa Cruz has to offer because of their central location. Wound up not doing a lot of cooking because Santa Cruz has a million restaurants and we were mostly busy at the ocean. But when we did it was great, as they have a gas stove and cast iron pans, etc. All the things I use at home.
