Staying at Mara's home is like eating a comfort meal, comfy and cozy. It has everything you will need for a comfortable stay. The first thing I always notice is cleanliness! It is one of the main reasons I have stopped staying in hotels and enjoy AIRBNB. Mara's did not disappoint. The full kitchen is well stocked with appliances and all the essentials needed to prepare meals (minus the food). Location was prime, quiet neighborhood, close to everything. We did the boardwalk thing, the beach and evening strolls downtown and never in the vehicle more than 10 minutes. During our trip to Santa Cruz, my son and I played hard and rested well, thanks to Mara, and her family's, accommodating home...did I mention the hottub!
I will definitely return.
