This was the perfect place for our family to stay while attending a wedding in the area. There is easy access to shopping/restaurants (we found a great pub nearby), the cottage is exactly as described and was very clean. The Host leaves very clear instructions and is quick to answer any questions and to check-in with you before/during and after your stay. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the kitchen was well stocked. We even enjoyed the saxophone playing nearby in the early evening. All walkways were well lit if you're coming/going after dark. There are additional taxes by the City of Santa Cruz, but they mention this in the description, so just be aware - this is not a cheap area to stay but the rates for this cottage were very reasonable.
