Very clean and very comfortable! The private porch is very nice to just chill and read. The location is also great -- 5 min walk to downtown Santa Cruz but far enough that it is quiet. Stephanie is kind and welcoming. Spooky the cat is adorable and affectionate! We did not see him for most of the day, but we cherished all the cuddles and purrs he gave us when we did see him. We would stay again if we come back to Santa Cruz!
