Steven’s place had real good vibe to it , kind of a shabby chic thing happening. Really relaxing . Sat on the deck out back and there are 4 redwood trees about 130 ft tall one right in the middle of the deck with a stream down the hill behind the house and you can hear the water flowing . Lovely place to relax , take your tea , read a book or grab your guitar . Perfect place between Santa Cruz and Monterrey . Short drive see the sites from Big Sur to San Francisco. Mountain bike ridding near buy and conveniently located to restaurants grocery stores and anything else you could possibly need. I arrived as a guest and I left as a friend. Thanks Steven !
