Caroline's sun and plant-filled home is a wonderful retreat in Santa Cruz. She was travelling during our stay, but her petsitter, Maura, was helpful and friendly. The guest room and bath were spacious and private, with a fantastic view of the city. Travelers should be aware that the stairs to get up there were numerous and steep, making this place suitable only for able-bodied folks who pack light! But if that's you, the home, hostess, and location make them worthwhile.
