Great place and great host!
We highly recommend Tara's apartment. It has a good proximity to both, Santa Cruz downtown and Highway 1.
The living room is very large, comfy and offers a nice view. There's lots of space when you are staying with a family or a larger group. There's even a garden that can be used.
Tara was very friendly and professional, easy to communicate with. Check-in was easy, too.
Thanks, Tara and we hope to come back!
