Delia was a wonderful host and made me feel welcomed as soon as the booking was confirmed. She is very responsive and had great suggestions about my drive from SFO and things to do in the area. She even booked a massage for me after I expressed interest. Her home is in quiet neighborhood in the forest in a mountainous region so there is a curvy road to drive (navigation via google maps is adequate) but it was worth it. The studio is self contained with a private entrance, bathroom and kitchenette- separated from the main living area via a locked door. It was very welcoming, clean, comfortable and beautifully designed. There was wifi and a Bose iPod speaker (I don't remember seeing a TV) and plenty of space to store luggage/clothing. I am allergic to cats but had no issues- they do not come inside the studio. Delia as a host went above and beyond my expectations! She had snacks and beverages on hand for my arrival as well as a binder full of information about Santa Cruz and nearby restaurants. Delia prepared and shared a wonderful breakfast with me and I'm really glad I had the opportunity to speak with her and exchange stories. She has a generous, genuine spirit and truly made my stay a joy. Clearly, I highly recommend this booking and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
