David was very helpful and called while we were driving there to tell us that there was construction on his street and that we might need to approach the house from a different direction. That turned out to be the case. That was the only thing that wasn't awesome- we couldn't get into the driveway as it was blocked by heavy machinery. But we were able to work around that eventually. The house was located fairly close to the UCSC campus (which was why I was there) and also to downtown without being right on a busy street, which we appreciated. The nearby coffee shop (The Abbey) was close enough to walk even for my 6 year old so they could do that while I was working on campus. The kitchen was very nice and my son very much enjoyed sitting at the kitchen 'bar' to eat. In fact we never ended up using the nice large kitchen table (which can seat 6). I liked the wide open dining area that was adjacent to the kitchen and all the windows that let lots of natural light in. All in all, it was a really good place to stay!
