Shannon's property is in the perfect location to explore the Santa Cruz area. Convenient to everything, but tucked away up on a hill. The apartment was very clean. The bed was super comfortable, and it was decorated in a whimsical, eclectic style with lots of thoughtful little extras. The location was very safe and private, we never even locked the door upon leaving. Check in was seamless, and Shannon made sure we had all the information we needed for our stay. The apartment sits over a ravine with redwoods, with a redwood deck, so you get the feeling that you are sitting in the tree tops, among the woodpeckers and stellar jays. We regretted not having the opportunity to meet Shannon personally, but we thoroughly enjoyed staying at her property, and we loved the Santa Cruz coast.
