A relative recently moved to a senior residence in Santa Cruz. Coming from the upper peninsula, we decided to stay overnight and spend the next day with him as well. Kerstin's space was JUST RIGHT for us. The room is very private, clean, uncluttered, quiet and comfortable. The light from the double glass entry doors was pleasant, as were the homemade banana muffins. There is a large walk-in closet with a small refrigerator and coffee setup as well as extra linens and beach chairs. The bath is especially nice with a lovely easy access walk-in shower, and a mirror cabinet with mirrors also on the inside. Kerstin provided a number of Trader Joe's toiletries with delightful scents. Just outside was our own private seating area with umbrella for shade. Next time we will plan some time to enjoy it. Kerstin gets 5 stars too for being a friendly, accommodating hostess.
