We had a great short stay in Santa Cruz looking at colleges for my daughter. Yahaira's place was as described and in a good location- easy to drive into and with some conveniences to walk to, like a little farmer's market. It was also convenient to walk to various beach spots to see the ocean and the winter surfers. We had family from Sacramento come down to visit and it was comfortable to host them for a meal. We had some questions come up during the stay and Yahaira was immediately responsive, and proactive on letting us know about issues they were aware of.
