My group of 5 (and a dog) stayed at Damian's place the week prior to Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time, 5 thumbs up. Damian is truly a super host. It was my first experience with Airbnb and he kept me updated and informed through the whole process. His home is beautiful and spacious with just about any amenity you could ask for. The location is secluded which we enjoyed but Santa Cruz is only about 15 minutes away for meals and shopping. It is so peaceful at night that I never heard a single sound while in bed the whole week. The ultimate compliment that I gave Damian is that we want to return again next year.
