This is a lovely oasis within a few blocks of downtown Santa Cruz. We were welcomed graciously and quite impressed with the cleanliness and charm of this comfortable cottage. Everything about the place shows thoughtful concern and meticulous care. The pictures do not do it justice; this place is a small jewel. The bed was amazingly comfortable with newish linens and plenty of pillows. Even the futon in the sitting room my daughter used was great for a good nights rest; it's a fairly substantial mattress, not a thin cotton pad. We enjoyed having coffee (there is a Keurig in the cottage) and doing yoga on private deck. This is one of the best Airbnb's we've had the pleasure of staying in. We are frequently in the Santa Cruz area and hope Carla's place is available the next time we come!
