Toni has an absolutely beautiful home, in a wonderful quant neighborhood in Santa Cruz. As soon as we walked in the house had such a homey feeling, the kind that you would expect in that neighborhood.
You pretty much have a wing of the house in which you have complete privacy; with a door that closes off the main house to your hallway with the bedroom and bathroom.
The bedroom was clean, with a very comfortable queen-sized (at least, if not larger?) bed. There was a nice closet space with hangers for your clothes. The room included a satellite T.V., efficient wifi and outlets near the bed.
The bathroom was gorgeous, very clean, with a huge mirror. She provides you with shampoo, conditioner & body wash, a hair dryer and plenty of clean towels if you need it.
The best part was that the room included a nook with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker/tea, and filtered water.
Even better was the lovely muffins and homemade cookies waiting for us in the room!
The house was within a 15-20 min walking distance to downtown, but we mostly took a 5min drive via Uber instead of dealing with parking.
Toni was an absolutely wonderful host, she gave us a warm welcome, and she responds promptly to any questions you may have. She communicates well and left us a handy note with the wifi password and a few other tips about the room. She emptied out our coffee pot and refilled our filtered water, while we were out and about. She even gave us another round of muffins the 2nd morning we were there!
Overall Toni is a fabulous host and we highly recommend at staying in her home, we would book again in a heart beat!
