Toni's place was delightful and comfortable. The suite is off the living room and very private, with its own hallway, bedroom and bathroom. The orange lotus lamp is a sweet touch.
Toni is friendly, helpful, and happy to interact minimally or more, depending on guest preference. I'm glad we had opportunities to talk a little.
Downtown is a short 20 minute walk, plus Jump bike share rental bicycles can be left anywhere and are easily found within a block or two of the house. Santa Cruz has lots of bike lanes and quiet streets, and Jump bikes are motor-assist, so no problem on the hills.
