First, let me say that the communication with Maisie was great...open and friendly with quick responses if I had any questions. Although my husband is wary about staying in "someone's home," the room (the home itself) and location exceeded our expectations! I think he is now a fan of Airbnb. The room was exactly as described and comfortable, with a beautiful view from the patio right outside the bedroom doors. Maisie and Sky left us written lists of local restaurants, etc. since we had never visited Santa Cruz. The staircase right outside the front door led directly into downtown Santa Cruz, making it easily accessible without the need to drive and park. Coffee shops, outdoor cafes, etc. were all within a 5 minute walk. The stairs were rather steep, but I considered it part of my exercise after eating that ice cream in town. Thank you, again, Maisie. Will let you know if I make the trip again in the Fall. :-)
