I stayed in Santa Cruz for three days at Caroline's lovely house, and it was just great! Caroline did everything to me me feel comfortable, just like home.
The room was tidy and neat upon my arrival, I wasn't expecting it to be so spacious (same for the bathroom). For me the location was perfect since I was in town for a workshop that took place just one block away from her house. Everything else was very accessible as well (downtown, the beach), I just wish I had more time to be there.
To sum up: great place, great location and specially, great host! Thanks Caroline!
