My parents and I had a great stay at Meg's place! You enter her place through the side of the yard, walking through a full, beautiful garden to get to your own private patio. The place itself is cozy, well decorated, and very comfortable. My parents and I slept very well with no outside noise. They took the bed and I slept on the very comfortable couch, with many extra blankets and pillows that Meg provided. There is fantastic Mexican food and a small bakery within a walking distance, and the beach is just a 5 minute drive away! I definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Santa Cruz.
