Michael and Ashlie's place was outstanding, super clean, incredibly inviting and colorful, and in the perfect location in Santa Cruz. Everything was very new, and the kitchen, bathroom, etc. were all very well-equipped. The rooms all got a ton of light and the beds, linens, and towels were all very comfortable, and they've taken the time to decorate with fun plants and interesting furniture to make their home feel especially welcoming. They were kind enough to provide additional portable desks as well since both my husband and I were working remotely during the week that we stayed there. Parking was a cinch and the area felt very safe; we walked to many of the nearby restaurants and shops, as well as the great organic grocery store just 10 min walk away. There is an entirely separate entrance to the unit, though you do have to walk up their driveway to get there, which was just fine for us. The WiFi was strong enough for us both to be on Zoom calls simultaneously. Michael and Ashlie were kind, very gracious, and communicative hosts, and responded to our every need very promptly. We had a bit of a special situation as well that required particular accommodation, and it was truly kind and generous of them to accommodate us. Would love to stay there again!!
