Pete is a very welcoming and gracious host, and his home was a lovely place to land while visiting Santa Cruz. I appreciated the colorful decor and artistic touches of the bedroom, as well as the thought put into making our stay comfortable. Stepping out into the backyard to sit in the morning light while sipping coffee and eating home-made lemon cake was certainly a highlight. Getting lots of loving attention from his pup Frida was an extra bonus! I enjoyed listening to the birdsong coming from the aviary, and was grateful that all the birds went to sleep at a reasonable hour.
