I had the most relaxing time staying with Mudita and Andrew. They were very communicative prior to my stay as well as during. They were very kind in accomodating a late check out so that I could avoid traffic for my trip home. The bedroom, bathroom, and living room are connected to Mudita's work area, but she was incredibly respectful of giving me my privacy. She even worked with her bookkeeper and had two clients over the weekend and I didn't even know they were there! The curtains and doors help separate the spaces. I loved the living room area because it gave me space to lounge around without being cooped up in one room and the many plants gave it an outdoorsy feel. I opted to do take out for dinner the two nights I was there so that I could just enjoy the space, write, read, and watvh netflix on my tablet while I enjoyed my meal. The bedroom was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. An extra down comforter was provided just in case I got cold at night. The mini fridge was stocked with english muffins, organic eggs, cheese, yogurt, coffee, and oatmeal. The bathroom was very clean. It really felt like a home away from home trip for me.
When I arrived, Mudita was there to greet me and gave me brief tour of the space. She even spent some time chatting with me about things to see and places to eat, which I tried out for breakfast and loved. She gave me some great advice about walks that I could do nearby. I didn't get a chance to meet Andrew, but spoke with him on the phone and he was very friendly as well.
I really enjoyed my stay and plan on booking again the next time I'm in Santa Cruz.
