We stayed at Liz's over a weekend to get away from it all for a little bit. Liz was quick to respond and communication was a breeze. Check-in was extremely easy as well. The best part about the bnb was how close it was to the beach. We had planned to spend most of the weekend in Santa Cruz but the Rio del Mar beach just a few blocks away from the bnb ended up being a much better idea and is where we ended up spending most of the weekend. Also, the bed was ridiculously comfy. Would definitely recommend both Aptos and Liz's bnb if you're looking for a low-key and relaxing get away.
