The perfect location and best price in Santa Cruz! Mary Ellen was very hospitable and her home was beautiful and spotless. The room was nice and cozy for me, my husband, and our 7 year old daughter and we enjoyed the flat screen TV and WiFi while we were there. We also liked that the full bathroom was attached to our bedroom. Mary Ellen was kind enough to serve us cappuccinos and cookies during our stay and her bird Midnight was the absolute cutest thing around! We will definitely be back if we decide to make another trip to Santa Cruz. Thank you for everything, Mary Ellen!
