Christine is a lovely host. We arrived a few hours early, not knowing she had scheduled a quick showing before our arrival. She was so very accommodating even though we were the ones creating the time conflict! Christine offered suggestions and was helpful in our planning our time in Santa Cruz. She had flowers and wine for us when we arrived AND yummy homemade scones the morning we were leaving (saving us time by not having to cook or go out). The space was comfortable with a large room, kitchen alcove and bathroom. We weren't able to sit outside because of the deluge of rain but the patio, though small and narrow, was sweetly decorated and inviting. The neighborhood was pleasant and we felt safe. This was our first airbnb experience and we will certainly use the cite again.
