Aaron and Michaels place could be the standard by which all other AirBnB's are measured. Every single detail was carefully thought through and tastefully completed. Their cottage is a true sanctuary perfectly located in delightfully eclectic Santa Cruz. The front porch/deck area was wonderful to hangout and enjoy the friendly neighbors! The beds were comfy, the kitchen stocked with all we needed and the bathroom impeccably clean - as was the rest of the cottage. I really can't say enough about how impressed I was with this AirBnb, it really stands out above everything else I've stayed in.
Although a quality coffee/espresso machine and supplies were provided, we opted to walk 5 minutes to the coffee house nearby. We did the same for every dinner - all within a pleasurable walking distance. Santa Cruz is "the" quintessential California beach town, and this cottage is the perfect place to experience that from.
