I highly recommend staying at Marie and Peter's! I stayed in the Peach Room for 3 nights and loved it! In the room there's a mini fridge,microwave, dishes, also lots of closet room! I especially loved waking up and grabbing the tea they have in the common room! Also, their front yard is beautiful!! If it wasn't for the rain I probably would have spent more time out there. Anyways, you won't regret staying here!! Great location--close to the beach, downtown Santa Cruz, and a safe neighborhood!
