We’re so happy we found Lisa and Jim’s wonderful place! The spot was perfect for our family - close to everything and yet so peaceful and quiet. We were impressed by the fully stocked kitchen and bathroom and the soft mattress, and our boys enjoyed each having their own pull-out bed to sleep on. The rental had everything that our family could need for a comfortable stay. However, the best part of this great spot was Lisa herself! She was truly a delight, taking time to visit with us and make us comfortable, and sharing all sorts of wonderful local information (how to eat at expensive restaurants for cheap, how to get around downtown, and even how to find cows to visit in the middle of Santa Cruz!) She even checked in ahead of our visit to find out our boys’ favorite candy and had us stocked with candy and snacks when we arrived. She made us feel like we were staying with friends - we felt so comfortable and welcome that the boys’ first question after check out was when we can come stay there again! Thanks for a lovely trip Lisa and Jim! We’ll be back!
