This was our second stay at Ricardo's place in a year. It is conveniently located to so many things. It's easy access off Highway 1. Seacliff Beach is a 5-minute walk away. You can see the ruins of the S.S. Palo Alto right from the beach. There are restaurants (Manuel's, excellent Mexican) and a convenience store within walking distance. It's 10 minutes away from DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course in Santa Cruz. The space is clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was not as welcoming this stay, as most of the furniture had been removed. A NOTE ON THE AUGUST APP - we had trouble getting the app to unlock the door. Ricardo remotely opened it for us after I contacted him. We tried for about 45 minutes after getting in to figure out the app. We finally did but not sure how. It might have something to do with the email on my phone not being my Airbnb email. The listing says you'll receive a text or email to enter. You won't. August and Airbnb are supposedly synced. I was told to sign into August using my Airbnb credentials, which didn't work. The app had me set up an account. I suggest you try the app before arriving. Luckily we arrived fairly early but it's no fun not being able to get in if you arrive late at night.
