We had a wonderful time in Santa Cruz. Michael gave us tips on where to eat, hike and even local music happenings during our stay. The location is perfect- just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. We went to the beach every morning and after exploring some during the day, we found ourselves back at Twin Lakes Beach each afternoon/early evening. The apartment is in a cute little neighborhood, there was no road noise and we had our own parking spot. The snacks and beverages are a nice touch and the kitchenette has everything you need. It was a perfect getaway and I would book it again in a heartbeat!
