Pete. . . We loved Pete. He was a very friendly and informative host, and offers a beautiful, comfortable, tranquil room to his guests. The room is bright, the bed is comfortable, the view of the garden is glorious, there are all kinds of homey touches in the room, everything is clean. These hosts thought of every little detail, and there was a bottle of water and chocolate in the room, along with lots of information about local things to do and see. Pete even hand drew us a detailed map of how to get to some places we were interested in. He has a huge list of their favorite places, and even highlighted the ones that are dog-friendly. You will be amazed by the gardens here! The labyrinth is very cool, as are all the other hidden little touches around the garden. Everything is clean. The house is really cool, full of antique furniture and interesting art and photographs. The breakfast table was beautifully set, with tasty breads, coffee, water, etc. Pete was always available when we had questions, and is tons of fun to talk to, but he never made us feel uncomfortable, or like he was lingering too much. He was there, but gave us plenty of space to relax. I really can't say enough good stuff about this listing. We loved it, and will definitely stay again when we go back to Santa Cruz! Thanks, Pete!
