Barry's place is the reason we use airbnb. His clear communications about nuts and bolts of rental, and spot on suggestions for trip enhancement enriched our visit. The home is perfectly appointed, fresh, and spotless. It is ideally located for walking for coffee, breakfast, two very good italian restaurants and market. Great walking ideas are in his suggestions, as are eating. If you want to venture outside of Santa Cruz, consider driving north on Rt 1 to 4 Mile Beach at Wilder Ranch State Park for stellar hike to the beach, and further north on Rt 1 for some breathtaking scenery, ending in Half Moon Bay for lunch and to purchase fresh fish off the docked boats. Thank you Barry for this lovely experience.
