Wow- what an amazing experience! My boyfriend and I stayed in this adorable studio on a whim after a four day Big Sur backpacking trip for a one night stay before going to High Sierra Music Festival. It could not have been a better experience! We were exhausted from backpaking and were definitely looking forward to a hot shower and getting a good nights sleep before heading to the fesival to work (we made crepes for a food truck called "crepelicious") but we got so much more. The studio was very cute, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed from reading material, extra blankets, tea, coffee and tableware to bodywash/shampoo- even the soap that was provided was nice and organic. I'm very detail oriented and she really thought of everything. It is also conveniently located so we were able to go out a walk everywhere we wanted to go, which was awesome.

I had never been to Santa Cruz but Dianne truly went above and beyond by giving us great reccomendations for restaurants, and cafes. She even gave us tips and directions on which campsites, creeks and hotsprings to visit on the way to the fesival! We actually tried our 90% of her suggestions and were more than satisfied. She seriously made our vacation and I am so thankful.

We decided to stay at this studio very last minute but I have to say it felt like it was meant to be! I will definitely be back- We might even make it a yearly tradition before working the festival! I absolutely reccommend this place to anyone looking to stay in a stylish place in a cool neighborhood.
