Dianne's place was just perfect for us as my daughter and I were making a one night stop in Santa Cruz as we visited colleges in California. The place is adorable and had everything we needed for a nice stay. You can even look out the window and see an avocado tree, which was amazing to us! It is an easy walk to restaurants and shops. We took Dianne's recommendation for Zachary's for breakfast and it was great! We also easily walked to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk area. I'd definitely recommend Dianne's place to anyone looking to stay in Santa Cruz!
