This was one of my absolute favorite Airbnb experiences. The location was perfect. Right near the beach, a pleasant walk to a main tourist strip as well as bar and dives for locals. When I arrived, I got to chat a bit with Dawn. She is so warm and gracious. Super friendly and knowledgeable about Santa Cruz while also totally aware of space and privacy. The room itself was such BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! Beautiful view, comfortable bed, private shower and bath with amenities, towels, iron, tea and snacks, everything! Really really just so wonderful.
