We were passing through town and stayed at Dianne's place for just one night. It was just as pictured and located super conveniently to the downtown area of SC. It was a short distance to everything. The place is very cute and nicely kept. A few things to note...there is a curtain for the bathroom door, which we loved, because we have the same thing at our house. Some may not feel the same but it made us feel more at home. There is no mini fridge which would be a nice addition. We had some things in a cooler thinking there would be a fridge (we didn't read the amenities listing thoroughly) and just had to get ice. Also the loft gets very hot! We had the heater on and even though the downstairs was nice, the heat gets trapped in the loft and we overheated in the middle of the night even with the skylight open. If you stay be sure to turn heat off at night! Price, convenience and style can't be beat in Santa Cruz, we will definitely book again.
