We really enjoyed staying at Michael and Ashlie’s place. It was nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. We especially appreciate the cleanliness since we were traveling with a little monster who crawls on all fours and likes to stick random stuff in her mouth- which can be kind of stressful when traveling. But we could tell that Michael and Ashlie’s place was set up with kids in mind. It turned out to be a really easy place to stay with our two daughters. Communication with Michael was easy, and he made sure we had everything we needed. The location was awesome- for dinner we followed Michael’s recommendations and walked a few blocks down Pacific Avenue and found some really great food. Overall, we had an awesome experience, and we would definitely recommend Michael and Ashlie’s place to anyone wanting to experience downtown Santa Cruz, especially families with young kids.
