Erik and Marina are the perfect hosts. The studio is just as described. All furnishings and amenities are up to date, and spotless. Bed is super comfy, towels are plush. When I arrived, the fridge was stocked with eggs, english muffins and half-and-half (to go with the whole bean Verve coffee, grinder and French Press). WiFi worked fine. The neighborhood is quiet, and the house is off the road down a long driveway. They've landscaped the yard all around the studio (sitting on top of the garage) so you enter through this charming garden, and once you're in your aerie, you can look out over the neighborhood - very peaceful. Very centrally located - very easy drive into Capitola right nearby, or Santa Cruz (a few more minutes in the other direction). Score!
