Highly recommend as a comfortable, quiet, and central place to stay in Santa Cruz. Caroline is a great hostess and provides wonderful recommendations. Her home is exactly as posted and extremely clean. My boyfriend and I wanted a relaxed weekend getaway and experienced just that. The beach, downtown, MAH museum, shops, eateries, etc are all within walking distance or just a short car ride away. We were able to check out the UCSC campus right up the road with amazing views of the entire city (also makes for a great run or bike ride). There are also several parks and trails close by! We hope to return again.
