I spent four nights at Scott and Kathryn's place. Although they were out during that period, they made me feel very welcome. The first night I couldn't find the place -- my fault because I wasn't familiar with the numbering system used in the town home complex -- so I called them late at night and they essentially walked me into the room from where I was parked via cell phone, and with good humor.

It's a great place to use as a base to visit Santa Cruz, Monterey, and areas around there. I didn't do much else than come in late, leave early, and sleep there. But it was perfect for that.

The room is very pleasant, clean, quiet and very private. One enters through a patio with its own entrance. It would be a very good place to have visitors, if you have any.

If you are interested, there are a full set of amenities within walking distance -- grocery store, pharmacy, coffee places, etc. If you don't have your own wheels, it's perfectly located right next to the commuter bus lot.
