My family of 3 stayed for a couple nights and had a lovely stay. The studio was cute, clean and as pictured. We had everything we needed. The location is perfect for walking downtown (5 mins) and the boardwalk (10-15 mins). Michael and Ashlie are very friendly, helpful and reliable hosts. Communicating with them was a breeze. It was pretty rainy when we stayed there and we couldn’t find any outdoor dining one night, so we enjoyed takeout dinner on the cute front porch. It was unexpectedly one of the highlights of our stay. Some extra bonuses: kitties and tree swing in the front yard! We’d definitely stay here again when in Santa Cruz!
