My friend and I had an amazing trip staying at Lauren's lovely apartment. It was close enough to many good walking trails, an amazing cafe, and great shops. The apartment had a cute back patio that was amazing to sit in the sun and sip coffee in the morning! Although we never met Lauren, she went above and beyond to provide us with information about the area and even provided snacks. We will definitely return to this air bnb and highly recommend it for anyone who wants a quiet, relaxing, stay in santa Cruz away from the business of downtown.
