The windham getaway is a very simple duplex on a quiet street in Santa Cruz....it is within walking distance of almost anything you might need (at least it was for us--we do like to walk very much). Katie is a lovely host and we enjoyed meeting her. The cottage itself is nice...clean and reasonably well equiped (I would have liked a larger coffee pot, a stopper for the sink and a blanket other than the very warm quilt (our NY blood must be thicker than that of Californians)...but apart from that, all was lovely and well and we'd certainly like to spend time there the next time we go west.
