I got this airbnb for my grandparents from London as a xmas gift so they could see Santa Cruz as I plan to move there myself within this year. I cannot stress enough: they LOVED it. I booked the space a couple months in advance and Shelby was wonderful at communicating nearer to the date on how to access the space. The location was perfect as it's in the hip westside for shops and restaurants and walking distance to New Leaf for snacks/ingredients since Shelby's place has a small and equipped kitchen. There is also a little binder full of tips and ideas of where to go in Santa Cruz. The space was super cozy yet open and spacious and felt nice and private with the gated front porch area. The bathroom was sparkling and had a huge shower! Honestly, it was perfect and I cannot thank Shelby enough for putting together such a thought out airbnb - I absolutely loved the clean and contemporary aesthetic. My grandparents loved Santa Cruz and enjoyed their stay so much because Shelby's place made them feel like they were locals. Here's what they wanted to share about their experience:
"Our granddaughter Anna rented your flatlet for a 3 day stay and how charming, clean and well laid out it is. From a very efficient shower room to a very comfortable bed and workable kitchen. We would highly recommend it in the future to any family visiting Santa Cruz. Many thanks for making our visit to Santa Cruz enjoyable." - Pat & Roy, London, UK
