Marilyn's place is excellent. It is very comfortable, beautiful and is located in the gorgeous Soquel hills. The cottage is a good size with a large bed, dresser and kitchen. Even though there is no stove, I was able to use the hot plate, toaster oven and small grill to cook creatively. I would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting Santa Cruz to hike in the mountains or enjoy the beach. There are also great coffee shops, restaurants and farmer's markets nearby.
