My partner, I, and our dog stayed here to get away from the city and just work for the week. Unfortunately on our first day, there was a power outage and we had to retreat to downtown Santa Cruz. Our host was very communicative and empathetic, and kept us updated on everything that was going on with the power and internet. Ideally, the best situation would be to have no issues, obviously, but the next best is to have a Host who cares about your stay and works quickly to fix things or make it better. It was so wonderful to be in the mountains. Next time, we will take time off to take advantage of the park and beach that's nearby.
