Erik and Marina were both very welcoming when we arrived after our long day of travel on Friday evening. Erik suggested a great vegetarian restaurant for us and Marina helped us with our travel plans to San Francisco. The studio was clean, had great ammenities, and was in a great location. We were able to cook a healthy breakfast every morning with some of the nice treats that were left for us in the well-stocked kitchen. It was nice to come back to the comfy studio after being out and about in the rain. Erik and Marina are wonderful hosts. We would definitely stay there again when visiting Santa Cruz.
