Liz has created a cozy sanctuary here, this studio truly is a home away from home when visiting Rio Del Mar/Aptos/Santa Cruz. The bed is as comfortable as they come, loved the skylights and open airy feel to the space. The details throughout her studio, like the art hanging on the wall to the newly renovated and super clean bathroom made my stay just that little bit better. Heater was fabulous to take the nip out of the air. The electric kettle, and kitchen implements where all spot on. I had everything I could need to whip up a quick breakfast or dinner. Neighborhood was quite and peaceful and included a beautiful creek across the road that leads to the Ocean. Nearby corner market, state park and close restaurants make this a perfect place to lay your head and soak up atmosphere. I will definitely be back.
