I'm Herb Simmons, Dale's husband, and I stayed at Toni's home in Santa Cruz. I had a great experience staying in town for two nights to visit my daughter, a student at UC Santa Cruz. Toni's house was very nice and my room was great. It was essentially a private suite, with a bedroom and private bath connected by a nearly private hallway. The rooms were very clean, well equipped and comfortable. There was a coffee maker with gourmet coffee which I enjoyed very much. Toni was welcoming and available however I needed but other wise left me to myself. The location was perfect, being between downtown and the university, and within walking distance (0.9 mile) of a great brewpub. I would definitely stay there again.
