We loved staying at Allison's place. Her communication and hospitality were outstanding, from equipping the apartment with flowers, scented oils, wine, tea and coffee to great advice about local restaurants and activities. She even loaned us her State Park pass. The setting is quiet and tucked up in the redwoods in Felton, less than a mile from Highway 9. It's a winding but beautiful six-mile drive down to Santa Cruz.
The apartment itself is spacious and has a full kitchen, which allowed us to do a lot of home cooking. There is a lovely wooden breakfast table that seats five comfortably. The bed was great and comfortable as well. The walk-in closet was easily roomy enough for two cribs for our two babies, giving them a dark, quiet room of their own in which to to sleep.
If you're more than six feet tall, be warned that there are a few low beams in the apartment you'll have to stay conscious of. All in all, our stay at Allison's was marvelous!
