Dianne's place is so lovely, very clean and she has literally thought of everything you could need to have a relaxing stay and also if you want to cook at home. We made good use of the grinder and coffee maker and appreciated that she had left milk, juice, coffee and a huge range of teas for when we arrived. The area is really convenient to the Santa Cruz boardwalk and there's a bike rental place only a few minutes walk away. Trader Joe's is also a 2 minute drive up the street. The neighbourhood at night felt a bit sketchy but totally fine during the day. We parked just outside on the street and it was fine. Communication with Dianne was really good, she checked in well ahead of time and was very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this place and Dianne as a host in Santa Cruz.
