This is a very special place to stay in Santa Cruz. Definitely something for the warmer days, because the shower and toilet is outside below a roof. The kitchen section is only usable if it doesn't rain. So, no issues during my stay in the summer.
The bed and living room is a small but cozy place. Fine for 1-2 person. Unfortunately, the bed is very very close to the roof, so its challenging for tall people. Also expect to hit the roof during the night with your arms or head. Ouch!
The backyard was very functional, but you will have all you need, incl. a hammock. My feeling was that Michelle and her family were a little bit reserved, but always friendly.
For anybody looking for a nice adventure in Santa Cruz, I can definitely recommend this place.
