We had a great visit to Santa Cruz, and Kimlin's place was perfect for us. There was easy, on-street parking right in front of the house. Although we used our car, we also found it pretty easy to walk to grocery stores, and a great bakery(which we visited every morning we were there). The apartment was just right for us, with a small, but very well appointed kitchen, and plenty of room to spread out, including the private deck with a view of the lovely garden. Checking in and out was really easy, and we were able to meet and chat with the host.
