Probably the best Airbnb that I have stayed in so far. We stayed at Elizabeth’s bungalow for multiple months and had a great time. Elizabeth was not only very helpful and easy to reach in case of questions, but we also experienced her to be a very kind person and appreciate it very much that we had the chance to meet her.
A highlight for us was the garden that surrounds the bungalow. It was common that we could watch hummingbirds right outside the windows. Looking up from the desk you see a lemon tree, looking up from the kitchen sink there is a huge fern outside, and the entire garden with its seating area in front of the bungalow was just gorgeously full of blooming plants like roses and hibiscus.
The bungalow itself is spacious enough to live in together comfortably with two people (separate room with washer/dryer, desk area, two bedrooms) and has everything that we needed to feel at home. This is a very quiet area overall, especially at night: there is obviously the occasional pick-up truck that drives down the street at daytime, but this is a residential neighborhood with little traffic. The wooden floors give the place a warm atmosphere. We found plenty of closet and drawer space for our cloths. The beds are very comfortable.

The high-quality fridge and an abundance of available cooking and baking pans made it very enjoyable to prepare a dinner or bake a cake. Be it the painting of a Koi fish in the living room area or the piece of art showing the close-by Natural Bridges park: it just felt like a very well designed place throughout our stay.
Summary: A place to feel at home, a very friendly and kind host (friendly next-door neighbors too), and obviously located in close proximity to all the great outdoor activities that Santa Cruz has to offer (e.g., by car 15 minutes to Wilder Ranch, 8 minutes to Seabright Beach, 15 minutes to giant redwood trees). We would love to come back one day.
