The studio was lovely! It was even further into the woods than we imagined making it amazingly quiet and peaceful, but it was still being close enough to town -- a 15-20 minute drive to great food and beach access in Santa Cruz, Soquel and Capitola. Make sure to follow the excellent directions provided as navigation isn't spot on. While the open bathroom took a bit of getting used to, it was overall such an enjoyable stay, and we'd definitely recommend. It was also a particularly special and memorable experience for us -- I surprised my now fiancée with a NYE proposal inside the studio!
