A nice, clean, quiet place to stay. You're "remote" enough that you'll have peace and quiet at the house and the immediate surroundings, but you're still close enough to food, shopping, beaches, and all the rest of the Santa Cruz area that you can get up and go when you want without much hassle. I stayed for three months and was comfortable the whole time. Discounts on long-term stays are incredible as well, though the standard daily rate is also fantastic. The host is friendly, welcoming, and very easygoing and comfortable to talk to--communication is quick and clear. Her dog is a sweetheart, too. The house, all the trees, the forest smell, it's a beautiful place. A great option if you're looking for a nice spot in the area to stay in at a very reasonable price. You can get the Santa Cruz experience with a calm, relaxing place to rest your head at night, away from the busy-ness of the city. So, if you're on a business trip, staying for a while doing work at the university, or just looking to get away a few days, I highly recommend.
