We decided to do a last minute getaway and were very happy with the experience. Hotel availability is abundant and rates quite low in Santa Cruz during winter months but we enjoy the charm and personalization of staying in airbnb and Pete's home is no exception. He was a great host and we had fun talking with him at the breakfast table. We reserved the room with private bath with porch overlooking the lovely, expansive garden. The homebaked sweets for the petit breakfast and coffee were a good way to start off the day.
