This was my first Air B&B experience, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying with Jonathan and Suzanne in Santa Cruz. My boyfriend and I had an excellent one-night stay.

Apartment: It's just gorgeous and extremely clean. The bathroom is stocked, clean, and the shower has great water pressure (yes, it matters). The mattress is memory foam! There's a small heater that heats the apartment in minutes. Jonathan and Suzanne were very nice to leave it on for us when we got there. We even had a mini-fridge! Since the apartment is in the garden, there's a lot of outdoor space for you as well. There's a small table outside and a lounge chair. My only complaint would be that the wifi has some issues. It wasn't a problem for us since we were only there for one night and spent most of our time enjoying the Santa Cruz weather.

The Hosts: Jonathan and Suzanne are wonderful! About a week before we showed up, Jonathan and Suzanne sent me information about their house and their family. They were very welcoming and were available if we had any questions. In fact, Suzanne gave us a list of places to eat as soon as we got there. Lyle, the dog was a sweetheart, but can get a little too excited some times, so that's something to keep in mind if you have a fear of dogs. I did not and loved his face-licks.

Overall, this was a great experience. Looking forward to staying with them the next time I stay in Santa Cruz.
