My wife and I stayed in the El Nido Unit for 4 nights while visiting family nearby. Chris was an excellent host who provided us with everything we needed and more, including a stocked refrigerator, lots of plush towels, plenty of games for our granddaughter when she came to visit and an open invitation to use the kitchen and patio of the main house if we wanted to. The apartment is decorated with nice touches and zany and bright art everywhere. The space itself is sufficient for just one or two people looking for a nice, clean and fun place to lay their head for the night.
The space has everything you need but don't expect to cook and dine there unless you are willing to use the kitchen in the main house. This airbnb is a small apartment with basic kitchenette attached to a main home with shared patio space. Our only discomfort was the tightness of the bed in the sleeping alcove. We pulled the bed away from the wall, but my wife had to inch out of the bed or crawl over me if she had to get up in the middle of the night. The other downside to this sleeping arrangement was that the sleeping alcove was at the back of the building and since this home sits on a wooded hill not far from the highway below, you could hear traffic while trying to go to sleep.
Overall, El Nido is an all around good choice and about what you can expect in this price range in the Santa Cruz area.
