Jason's place is great! We stayed there for a five night family vacation with our 12-year old son. The house is inviting and friendly, with a lot of cool quirky art work and plenty of space. We particularly enjoyed breakfast in the garden and the outdoor space in general. The beds are firm and comfortable, the bathroom has everything you need, the kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies, etc., and the living and dining rooms are spacious and comfortable.
This area of Santa Cruz was new to us, but we really loved it. There are all sorts of good restaurants, healthy food places (other than Whole Foods), and the Rio Theater and Delaveaga Park are very close. We walked about a mile to the beach, and circled back through downtown on our first day, hopped on the highway and drove down to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium on day two, wandered around UCSC and took in a Shakespeare play in the park on day three, then spent the last days at the beach in Seabright. Just Awesome!
All in all a wonderful stay at a fantastic place. Looking forward to our next stay at Jason's!
