My husband, daughter and I were in Santa Cruz for a multi-day family event. Staying at Lisa and Jim's place made our trip easier to coordinate. Lisa was flexible about our check-in time. She communicated well days before our arrival and made planning the trip easy. The apartment was clean. Our favorite area was the living room with high ceilings. Her hospitality and helpfulness will not be forgotten. She even had snacks ready when we arrived which is fabulous when you have a two-year old. I would recommend staying a Lisa and Jim's place to anyone I know looking for a place in Santa Cruz.
