J.R. made me feel very welcome. He communicated very well with me and was quick to answer my questions. My arrival was very smooth and there were no problems. Location very easy to find. As far as the description of the place, I would change "real bed" to futon, because I have a bad back and the futon was very uncomfortable for me. Also, there is traffic noise, though not real bad, as this location is just adjacent to Highway 1. When you close the bedroom door, the traffic noise is barely heard. Under "Amenities," a hot plate is listed, but the hot plate does not work - needs fixing. So I was unable to heat my food because I do not use microwave ovens.

Additionally, as Santa Cruz County recycles quite well, a recycle can was not provided, so I left my recycling in a box and asked J.R. if he could recycle it for me. Providing a recycle bin is essential for our planet - throwing recyclable items in the trash is not okay in this day and age.

As others have noted, the space is funky...seems to be a converted office space, but nevertheless it worked out very well and I was comfortable. The space is very large and has a nice, large desk area for laptops and work stuff. Secure parking and highly secure locking system on the front door, so I felt very safe as a single woman.

As spring in Santa Cruz County tends to be cool and windy, night time temps are cool and the floor heater took 48 hours to warm the whole place, but a very nice neighbor brought over a space heater and then I was fine.

Overall, things worked out very well for me and the location is really great - centrally located. I would definitely stay here again and I thank J.R. for his hospitality and great communication in making sure I was comfortable.
