The host: Tari was always communicative either by text or by AirBnB messaging. We didn't get a chance to meet right away because our schedules were busy, but when we met, she was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The place: the studio was perfect and just as the pictures show. When we arrived we were able to check-in through Tari's instructions, and found a clean, beautifully decorated and spacious studio next to her home. It has a private entrance which is a big plus. Inside you'll find everything you'll need for a comfortable night stay, entertainment (TV + Cable and DVD player), a mini kitchen and fridge, toaster oven, and a great small space to enjoy your meal if you cook. The bed and furniture were comfortable, and the bathroom was quality. The studio also comes with things that make your stay nice, such as a small fan, blow dryer, iron and ironing board, and a big closet for two people to comfortably place their clothes in. I couldn't think of anything that I needed that hadn't already been thought of by Tari and the hosts. Tari does have specific instructions about her place and how to handle some things, which are understandable and reasonable. The location was perfect for me because I had various activities planned throughout Santa Cruz and the San Lorenzo Valley, and also in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The drive to Santa Cruz from Felton is not bad at all and I actually find it enjoyable because you get to see the interior -- ranches, parks, forests, etc. Tari's studio is also next to various state parks, including one right outside the studio. The place felt safe along with the private parking spot provided, and it was convenient for our stay. Couldn't have been a better location and studio for us.
