I can definitely recommend anyone wanting to stay in Santa Cruz staying here. Mudita and Andrew are very gracious host. They stayed up late to meet us on our late arrival and offered us a late check out time if needed. The room was very comfortable and private. The host allows as much privacy as you want and offer any amenities that you might forget. The place in Santa Cruz is close to just about everywhere you want to go. Beautiful bike or walking path to the beach. Close to the boardwalk. I can recommend staying here without reservation.
