The stay we had was quite pleasant. The guest house is removed from the main house and pretty secluded. The home was clean and efficient. If you have kids they'll love the loft. The host (Lora) was pleasant and responsive. You can walk to downtown Santa Cruz from the house which was enjoyable. Beds were clean, kitchen functional, and it's basically surrounded by trees and no nieghbors so private. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would come again.
