This "secret garden" retreat is Santa Cruz's best kept secret. An entire one-bedroom apartment at a very affordable price. Super clean and cute with updated amenities way beyond what you'd find even in a five-star hotel. Japanese heated toilet seat with three types of bidet wash ! Shower stall that includes shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Comfortable living/dining room with the very latest high definition TV screen, Cable and more. Free high-speed wifi. Private patio that looks onto a charming garden with flowers, fruits, herbs, and veggies. An amazing number of solar lights that illumine the garden and pathway at night. Kimlin is a wonderful hostess who frequently checked-in with us to be sure we had all that we needed, yet afforded us complete privacy. Plus -- she left goodies in the fridge for us -- California sour dough bread, organic butter and cream, crackers and Brie, and a bottle of wine. Kitchen is small but very well equipped. We will absolutely book this gem again in the future. FIVE STARS !!!
