This wonderful cottage in Santa Cruz was the perfect place for my family and I to stay for 5 days. It was clean, comfortable and we were thoroughly entertained by Oslo the cat. The house is in a pretty central location, close to UCSC, close to downtown Santa Cruz and close to the beach, pier, and boardwalk. Our host Rikki was very gracious and so sweet to have opened her home to us! We were happy to clean up after ourselves; I know there were guests coming in the same day we left, but that was the only thing that was a little stressful.The cat sheds quite a bit, so allergy sufferers should come prepared.
