With a car, this is a great base from which to visit the numerous attractions in the area from Santa Cruz to the north and to Monterey in the south. Steven's place is nestled at the end of a dead end road in a quiet neighborhood. The deck is built around three towering redwood trees - a spectacular setting to sip a morning cup of coffee. Inside guests share a bathroom with Steven, who happened to be away during our visit. The bed was warm and comfortable; Steven's cat was friendly but never a problem.
