Matthew's place was perfect for a birthday weekend getaway to Santa Cruz. The location cannot be beat. Super easy to walk, bike or drive to wherever you want to go in Santa Cruz. The place is well equipped and comfortable. We had everything we needed and then some. It's a great base for exploring AND very nice to just hang out in and read, watch some tv, listen to the birds and seals, chill out, what have you. Highly recommend. Would stay again!
