Our stay at Susan's place was lovely. She is such a warm and welcoming host! We came in for one night to check out the Santa Cruz area and her house is close to so much. Susan gave excellent recommendations for what to eat, where to hike, and what to see around town. The space is beautiful - especially her back patio and yard. The hot tub was enticing - though we didn't have time to enjoy unfortunately. She also made us coffee in the morning and it was delicious. the bed was comfy and the room was spacious. I would recommend staying with Susan, without hesitation.
