Quick version - best Airbnb experience we've had! Just book it now if you're going to Santa Cruz.
Longer version - Nikki is an amazing host. The guest house is spotless and everything you could possibly need is provided. This isn't one of those places where there are only two dishes and no sponge or no dish soap. When we arrived there was a delicous assortment of fresh pastries, cheese and a few cold beverages. She's also thoughtful enough to provide cream for your coffee because who wants to have to go buy cream for a weekend stay? There's even a pair of flutes in the freezer. Seriously how did she know I brought a bottle of prosecco?! She's just that prepared!
Daisy and her second pup are adorable and friendly. The patio is super private and a wonderful place to hang out and enjoy the perfect weather with your own pup. There was plenty of space even for our great pyrenees to stretch out. The neighborhood is super dog friendly with a park a 2 minute walk away. Technically its not a dog park but every evening there was a small group of dogs there.
The location is great. Beach, restaurants, cafes all with in a 10 minute drive and lots of options with in a 15 minute walk.
Honestly it was so perfect we are trying to figure out when we next have time for a weekend away. We want to go back!
