The location of Dianne's place is fantastic for everything fun you want to do in Santa Cruz. I walked to the main strip to eat and get ice cream, the pier and boardwalk are about a 10 minute walk, and I rode my bike to Natural Bridges, about 20 minutes. I loved her space, everything was decorated very cool and everything I needed was in the well-stocked kitchen. Additionally, there's a really good massage place about 2 blocks up Cedar and lots of good yoga within walking or biking distance.
