Dianne was a wonderful host. She gave clear instructions that made check-in & out seamless. The location was perfect for walking around downtown as well as the beach. The place was clean and essentials were provided, such as soap/shampoo, drinking water, and as a bonus there was a French press along with an electric kettle so you can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely come back next time we are in Santa Cruz. We highly recommend staying at Dianne’s downtown loft!
