Caroline was a wonderful host. She made sure I was comfortable from the moment I arrived at her home. I was able to get a walkthrough of her beautiful garden and she even served me a wonderful breakfast the next morning. She was also a wonderful conversationalist and it was great hearing about her travels and talking about linguistics and phonetics with her. I even got to meet her charming cat. Finally, her home was within 15 minutes walking distance (4 minutes by Uber) from downtown, plenty of restaurants, and the Santa Cruz nightlife.
