Beautiful! Such a gorgeous place to drive around, to hike around, and to spend time in. Whether you come up the 9 from Santa Cruz or down the 9 from Saratoga, it is a wonderful mountain drive. The access to Santa Cruz and the beaches down there is awesome and the accessibility to San Jose and San Francisco is perfect. Additionally, the nearby hiking in the Big Basin area is unbelievable and the scenery is hand down some of the best.
Now, down to the actual airbnb. The place is nice and has a cozy feel to it. It is a smaller area, the main living with the kitchenette type area, the bathroom, and then the bedroom; but for 1 or 2 people, it is perfect Also, there is a tenant who lives next door and you can hear them from time to time, but it was never a bother to us. We enjoyed our time there.
Finally, the river and the deck with the fireplace, OMG! Such a marvelous time to spend the morning drinking coffee. I'd highly recommend Steve's place if you are looking to stay in the area!
