Shannon was a great host by making herself available if we had any questions about our stay or local attractions. On top of that her place is very warm n cozy filled with flowers n candles. She had supplied her apartment with milk, half n half, coffee, tea, danishes, grapes, cookies, wine, and yogurt. It has a very secluded feel and a nice n peaceful view with still being a short 1+ drive to the beach or downtown Santa Cruz.
