Nicky is an exceptional host. His guidelines for the visit are super clear and I really appreciated the labels for all the light switches, etc. The weather was coolish so we spent a lot of time in the kitchen. We loved it! My friend called the overall decor whimsical. We had a massage at Vital Body Therapy in Santa Cruz. I recommend it. We also saw the giant redwoods. Unbelievable. It was a great stay.
