Allison's apartment makes for the most wonderful stay! It is larger than l expected, comfortable, private, and inspiring with thoughtful touches in every room. It's close proximity to Henry Cowell State Park was literally walking distance, which made for such a complete experience of feeling immersed in nature! It is also only about 30 minutes drive time from Big Basin State Park, the oldest park in California and home to some of the oldest trees in the world. It was overall the best location and place to stay for visiting the entire area of Santa Cruz and neighboring towns. Allison was very hospitable and friendly, and had so many great suggestions and tips-all of which made my trip more enjoyable!
