Hallie's place is the perfect cozy get away, and right smack in the middle of Midtown Santa Cruz, so there are many walkable restaurants, grocery stores, and shops. In fact, Whole Foods is about 200 steps from the front door:) It's also amazingly clean, and has that home kind of feel, if you know what I mean. The lighting in a place can make or break the feel, and all the lamps and mood lighting options here make it very warm. A big plus is that the kitchen is truly well-stocked. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy it here.
