Toni's place was all the things you want: good location, quiet, clean, all the basic necessities at a good price point. Communication with Toni was easy, quick and thorough. Check in was easy. Street parking was easy. She left us some lovely baked cookies and even checked in with us to make sure all was well on our second day. The accommodation is basic, but worked well for us as we spent most of our days outside and grabbed meals at local restaurants. There is a nice patio area to enjoy a meal or morning coffee, and the kitchen does come with a tea kettle, coffee maker, microwave, fridge and some basic dinnerware if you want to make something simple. We're not big into nightlife, especially during COVID, so we stayed in during the evenings. Our only "wish list" item would have been a small loveseat to sit on while we watched movies. Overall, we highly recommend this rental if you're visiting Santa Cruz. It's one of the better ones we've stayed in and hope to be back soon!
