This was my first airbnb experience and I can't imagine one more wonderful. I can't begin to describe their beautiful yet cozy house surrounded by woods and how neatly and comfortably they set up the guest rooms, complete with Egyptian cotton robes, coffee pot, cereal, and a bunch of great stuff in the frig. Roger and Nancy are wonderful to talk with, especially about the energy efficiency of the house and the extensive redesign. I felt at home immediately and like they were truly happy to have me there. I feel like I made new friends!
It's a bit up from Santa Cruz (20 min. maybe?) but a beautiful drive and so worth it.
