We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Erik and Marina. They were very helpful and accommodating in terms of check-in plans, and the studio is just as well decorated, sunny, and beautiful as it looks in the pictures. Marina left the studio well stocked for breakfast - coffee, eggs, fruit. I was in town for work, so it was so nice to be able to have a full kitchen and not have to eat out for every meal. We also enjoyed exploring Santa Cruz. The studio is an easy drive from the beach and downtown area. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone!
