We came back for a second stay at Anhnalisa's studio. As advertised, its a great way to experience Santa Cruz. Right downtown, near good food and interesting shops. We love the beach and don't mind the short walk. The set up works great for our family of 6 and our niece from out of town was excited to join us again this year - as were our two dogs. Pet friendly, big group friendly, and hosts that are straight forward and easy to work with.
