Dianne's apartment was everything we hoped it would be. Her communication was great and she made sure that we had everything we needed. She went above and beyond by thoughtfully leaving us some treats for when we arrived, such as strawberries, popcorn, pancake mix and apple juice. The toiletries put in the bathroom are gorgeous and I even bought some of my own in a local shop to take back home with me! The apartment itself is decorated beautifully and is such a cosy place to come back to after a long day out exploring, plus the bed is so comfortable! We felt truly relaxed in her apartment and it gave us a little sense of 'home' whilst we were on holiday. The location is great and you are only a 10 minute walk to the beach and boardwalk, with Downtown Santa Cruz just around the corner. There are plenty of shops and restaurants really close where you can get anything you need. This is definitely a wonderful place to stay and if we are ever in Santa Cruz again we will be sure to book with Dianne.
