Kimlin is a fantastic hostess and her house has everything. There is a full modern kitchen and roomy dining area. There are several near-by markets if you want to cook and have your meals here. The two comfortable sitting areas are nicely decorated—feels like home; and did I mention the warm toilet seat and bidet??? The wi-fi is reliable and free. You'll find the bed is so comfortable that you may actually decide to sleep in! It's an easy walk to The Buttery, a breakfast/lunch/coffee shop & bakery. Also, it's just minutes to downtown Santa Cruz with its many unique shops, theaters and restaurants, and to the coast—West Cliff Drive or Pleasure Point—both lovely walks and surfing spots.
