Our stay with Kim and Jason was wonderful! The bedroom downstairs was private, with a separate entrance so there was no need to walk thru the house. There was also a private bathroom immediately adjacent to the bedroom. We had full access to the main kitchen, although a private area was also set aside with a fridge, coffeemaker, microwave and hot plate, which was more that sufficient for our needs. But the best part of our stay were the hosts themselves. They are a great couple, friendly and accommodating without imposing on your privacy whatsoever. My wife and I highly recommend staying at Kim's place to anyone looking to stay in the Santa Cruz/Aptos area!
