This place is fantastic! We couldn't have asked for more welcoming hosts, Sky and Maize (and their two friendly canines) were really terrific with lots of recommendations and made us feel at home in their house. The room is just as described spacious, with a huge bathroom and even a lovely private terrace with amazing views of down town Santa Cruz. We were able to use the outdoors lounge which is a perfect place to spend the evening after a busy day.
The house is located very conveniently, up on a slight hill away from the hustle and bustle but only 5mins walk away from down town via some handy steps. Santa Cruz is also a good base for exploring the coast line (monterey, carmel etc).
We couldn't recommend this place more! Thank you Sky and Maize for making our stay really enjoyable.
