Dianne was a wonderful host with an easy to find and charming studio in downtown Santa Cruz just steps to the beach, boardwalk, and Pacific Ave where there is a ton of shopping and restaurants. The studio is super cozy and sweet, nestled back in a little garden. Comfy setup with cute touches like tea and a French press for coffee, beach towels, an essential oil diffuser, etc. Super easy to communicate with the host as well. I felt very safe and looked after and was treated like a special guest from start to finish. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Actually, I would like to move in and be adopted by Dianne.
