We stayed at Lauren and AJ's place for a week while I was attending a workshop in Santa Cruz. Lauren was very responsive to my inquiries and requests. Lauren and AJ's place is very clean, private and well stocked. There is easy parking on the street if you have a car and a seven minute walk to the bus stop if you don't. It is well situated a couple of blocks from West Cliff Drive and within walking distance of stores, restaurants, trails and the beach. We will be staying there again the next time we are in Santa Cruz!
