I found Kerstin on a short notice - I needed to find a place in Santa Cruz, and fast. She responded within 3 minutes of me sending the message, which was almost startling. I was even more pleasantly surprised upon entering her home. For starters, it's absolutely spotless, and the decor is simple, clean, and elegant. The room itself is comfortable, and the private bath is nicely sized as well. The living room sports probably one of the largest televisions I have ever seen - I never turned it on, but next time I'm down there I plan on bringing some movies or a cable to connect my laptop! The kitchen is well stocked, clean, and organized. I made a wonderful breakfast for myself, and her homemade bread is absolutely delicious!

I consider this my home away from home in Santa Cruz and I cannot wait to return! :-)
