Dianne's place was fantastic. I stayed for ~10 days and everything about the stay was carefree. And for a work trip I couldn't have asked for a better spot.
Check-in/out was a breeze. Communication was quick and informative when necessary. Very much in quick walking distance to the beach and the main strip downtown. Didn't have issues with the Internet. TV with cable and smart casting abilities was a nice addition for the nights I stayed in after work. Kitchen was stocked with the essentials you'd need to stay in a cook a nice meal (not too far away from 2 different grocery stores). Aesthetically a very cozy and relaxing space. Very Santa Cruz like decor.
You won't go wrong choosing this place. Can't recommend it enough.
