The apartment was so perfect for us while visiting our daughter who lives in Santa Cruz. It was well-appointed in every way. We've never stayed anywhere with such a well stocked kitchen - we could have cooked almost anything. There was plenty of closet space, empty dressers and shelves. The bed was very comfortable and the furnishings were attractive and colorful. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet, and very conveniently located near the bay and beaches with many great cafes within just a few blocks. Kathleen is a great host and really understands what travelers need. We look forward to staying there for future visits.
