This was one of the best Airbnb that I have ever stayed in. We didn't meet the hosts by they were v.helpful and constantly in touch. The space is super clean and you get a nice self contained flat which has everything you need in it. You could use this place to explore Santa Cruz (which won't take that long to be honest) and this is a much nicer place to stay. You could also just use this place as a base for exploring the local area, plenty of trails and nature to see. Or you could just relax for a day as did.
