Brit and Alan's house was beautiful, immaculately clean, and looks just as described. They were also very responsive with communication. Checking in to the house is very easy--it's based on a personalized key code to unlock the door, so we didn't have to worry about handing off a key back-and-forth. This was very convenient since I was not sure when I would be arriving.

The cost seems fair since the house is perfectly located for a weekend in Santa Cruz. It was blocks to the beach and restaurants downtown: I recommend Marianne's Ice Cream and the Saturn Cafe (a vegetarian/vegan diner).

The only drawback was the master bed was a bit too soft for me -- I prefer a firm bed. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.
