Beth’s space is both private and very comfortable. There is street parking but while UCSC is in session you need a parking permit which Beth provides. For keen walkers this location is perfect. You can walk Downtown, to the Lighthouse, to local restaurants and shops or just enjoy the picturesque streets sloping up the hill towards UCSC. My family from New Zealand were entranced by the activities of a regular squirrel guest to the backyard. Beth is very prompt in responding to any queries or problems. The kitchen is amply furnished and easy to navigate. This is my second stay at Beth’s and it is fast becoming my home away from home when I visit my son in Santa Cruz.
