I loved staying in Grace's place. I already love the neighborhood of Seabright, and her street is a really sweet, just off the main drag without feeling busy. To me it's a "real" Santa Cruz neighborhood, not as touristy. Her whole place is very quaint and also very clean. The apartment is on the second floor, with carriage house/storage below, and while it's small it has everything you need. Without neighbors below it feels private.
The kitchen is light and airy, and fully stocked. The living and dining room have lots of windows and light and lots of room to lounge or work. The huge king bed is also very comfortable.
The property manager Isabel was very sweet and Grace checked in several times via email over our 6 day too.
We went out to dinner at La Posta around the corner - do not miss their delicious Italian food. Wednesday is neighborhood night and you get a free red wine with your pasta! Java Junction has great coffee, and Seabright Social is fun for watching a game and having a beer. Also great walks to the beach and harbor.
Thanks Grace for a great week!
