Maria and Geoff are kind and friendly hosts, very attentive while your privacy is maintained as much as you want. They offered good suggestions for food (Gayle's Bakery in Capitola, and a great Mexican place in the Twin Lakes Beach area). The Casita is a quaint, private studio with the modest comforts of home. Guest are well informed of the unique bathroom sink set up, and I found using the kitchen sink for everything other than immediate hand washing the most convenient. There are plenty of dishes, cookware and a microwave.
