We had a very lovely stay for our first Airbnb stay. Kerstin's cottage is a picture-perfect artist cottage: Quiet, clean, and beautifully decorated. The bed is very comfortable and cozy. I woke in the early morning to hear distant sea lions in the yacht harbor. We didn't meet Kerstin, but left quick notes back and forth. This worked well for us since we were away (except for nights), and very busy with an event on the UC Santa Cruz campus.
