Dianne's place was absolutely perfect for me. I was in Santa Cruz to race 70.3 Santa Cruz, and this was a 5 minute walk from race, which was amazing. It was also a 1-10 minute walk to excellent coffee (Verve!), bagels, fun restaurants, all the downtown shops, beach, pretty much anything you would want. Dianne is a superb host, she responded immediately and provided me with suggestions for everything I needed. The little patio is lovely and peaceful. The whole place was peaceful. The kitchen had everything I needed, including coffee beans and a pourover (big win). If I go back to Santa Cruz, to race or not, this would be where I would want to stay!
