Lauren's was a great spot for a weekend in Santa Cruz. It was a quick walk [less than 10 minutes] from incredible ocean views and an awesome ocean side walk way for a great walk/run/or bike ride. It's also less than a 15 minute drive from pretty much anything. Lauren's space was very well appointed and felt like a space you would see on apartmenttherapy.com. I would definitely recommend staying here and if I return to Santa Cruz I will stay there again!
