My wife and I came down to Santa Cruz and stayed at Dianne's place. We really enjoyed our time here. The space itself is nicely decorated and check-in is easy with a keypad + lockbox.
It is in walking distance to the boardwalk and all the shops in downtown. We got a guest parking pass to be able to park nearby. During the weekend, it might be a bit tricky to find parking in the near neighborhood but once permits are required after 6pm, it becomes much easier.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!
