Marina was an amazing host. She was accommodating in every single way. She is very personable and a very sweet person. We had lots of conversation and I got to know her quite well. Her home is very cozy, the bedroom and bathroom were incredibly clean and came with everything I needed for my stay. Her backyard patio is beautiful for a morning cup of coffee and parking is very convenient as it is right on the street 10 feet in front of her house. I will definitely be staying with Marina if I am ever back in Santa Cruz.
