Caroline made us feel at home after a long, boring journey on the 5 from Los Angeles. I was with my 17-year old son, and our short stop in Santa Cruz was to give him a little taste of the town I loved so much as a young adult in the seventies. Caroline, her home and her neighborhood gave us both a slice of the history of Santa Cruz as well as its ecclectic, progressive present. Caroline is gracious and interesting, and her home speaks of that--full of antiques and art that spark the imagination and inspire relaxation. We felt at home and happy in the space provided, with its arched window allowing a cool breeze and redwood floors in pristine condition. We will return to Santa Cruz, and if we can, we will return to Caroline's home.
