Crystal was a great host and the apartment Is wonderful , exactly as shown in the pictures. As a host she responded promptly and was very accommodating to satisfy our needs.
The apartment is very nicely decorated . Everything was spotless and of very good quality (like what you will have at your own house not a rental place). The kitchen is very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the south facing wall to wall windows that give bright sun all day with a nice ocean view. We also enjoyed the large balcony for a morning and late afternoon coffee watching the sun come up and go down. You can even see many dolphins passing by routinely (she even provides binoculars for it!)
The location is also very good as the beach is right there and both Capitola (nice quaint town) and Santa Cruz are about 10 min drive.
