This is a wonderful experience in downtown Santa Cruz, close to the night life, and the shops and market, not too far from the beach. The apartment is unique and stunning. It was a joy just to be there and discover the zen room, and the books and art in every little nook, and the wonder of the space. The bed was super comfy, and the living area and zen room give you lots of space to spread out and feel at home. But Samantha is the star of the show. She is very helpful and very concerned with your needs, while also being as present as you want her to be. Because the unit does not have a real kitchen she provides some help and alternatives, but if you are planning on taking out food or going out while visiting this isn't much of a problem. She also provided many local culinary gifts upon check in, that were delicious and appreciated. She also has a book of local tips, and history, and can answer any kind of inquiry in person or through texts. Definitely a place to revisit! Love!
