Kerstin's cottage was wonderful and has to be the best value in Santa Cruz. She has tastefully and lovingly designed her place feel comfortable, peaceful, and welcoming. The bedrooms in the home are at opposite ends, each with their own bath. The shower is ample for two and we were provided with shampoo, conditioner, soft soap (as well as bar soap), moisturizer, disposable razors, toothbrushes, and a hair dryer. Her towels and linens are of good quality and condition. If you wish, you are welcome to use the t.v. in the living room. The kitchen is very nice, though we didn't use it. Four lovely seating areas await you in a lovely garden setting. It's spparent Kerstin is very relaxed with having guests in her home, and was comfortable leaving us to ourselves for the night. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will return whenever we visit again!
