Jason was very helpful and friendly, contacting us before our stay, and responding very promptly to our queries. As he was meant to be away on the day we were checking in, he made alternative arrangements and kept us informed, so everything went really smoothly. The studio was lovely and clean, with a very well-equiped kitchen (full sized fridge, oven, microwave, cooker, pots & pans, crockery and impressive range of knives and utensils) which we took advantage of. Shampoo, conditioner and shower gel were provided in the bathroom, and the shower had good water pressure. The projector and screen with wifi and big list of movies was great for a relaxing night after dinner. Jason had a file in the studio with a list of restaurants, etc. in Santa Cruz he recommended. Street parking was readily available, and the location made it easy to get around with our car. Safeway, Staff of Life Natural Foods Market, fast food restaurants were all within walking distance. Jason made it a point to say hello/goodbye on the day we were leaving after he returned from his trip. We really enjoyed our vacation, and the studio felt like home. Would definitely stay there again if we're back.
