Nice, clean place, with a nice yard (and beautiful garden), in a quiet neighborhood -- a short walk or drive to Soquel Ave. and downtown. Comfortable double bed and soft bedding. (Note: The guest unit is quite small: Not much space to put luggage down, and a wee bit cramped for 2 people plus a dog, but it's OK if you won't be hanging out in the room for much of the day.) I really appreciated the non-toxic soap products (and the hosts' use of non-toxic cleaning products and low-VOC paints). Also appreciated the hosts' other thoughtful touches, like leaving a bowl of loquats for us, picked from the tree outside. And they have a shelf of great books to read: a really good collection.

Note: We're dog people, and we loved their dog (he's super friendly), but he does sometimes bark when he's outside in the yard, as many dogs will do. He wasn't outside really late at night or really early in the morning, but if you have trouble sleeping through occasional dog barks, you might want to bring some ear plugs. And if you're not a dog person, this might not be the best place for you.
