Overall this place was very nice. It was a tiny little guest house in the back of Steve's place. It was small, but it was just what we needed. It was close to Santa Cruz, but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood next to a nice park. Steve was accommodating when our plans changed and we had to bring our dog with us. A few minor things keep me from giving the place perfect marks. The check in procedure was not clearly outlined beforehand and was a bit awkward, the place didn't have a bottle/wine opener, and the blinds were pretty difficult to close. And while we got up early every day and it wasn't an issue for us, this is not the place to stay if you want to sleep in. There is a massive skylight and there's no way to block out the light. You do get a beautiful view of the redwood tree in Steve's backyard, but it is very bright in the morning.
