Where do I begin?? Jeanie is such a sweet lady. It felt like I was staying with a friend, not a host. She is warm , funny and loving and her cat is so chill and cute. The room and private bathroom are downstairs where you enter the house - and the kitchen and living space is upstairs. So you have privacy - but also the ability to go upstairs to use the kitchen and interact with Jeanie. I felt at home, staying with a good friend. I would highly recommend. The location is great as well - only 20 minutes from Santa Cruz, 30 minutes to Carmel and 1 hour from Big Sur. I hope to see you soon Jeanie! Thanks for being you! :)
