I stayed at Michael and Ashlie's place over Thanksgiving weekend for a mini trip to get away from city life in SF. It was very clean with cute beach decor that instantly made me feel like I was on vacation. The check in was super easy and seamless and it is so fabulous that they provide a parking pass to use while you are there. I was always able to find parking easily right around the corner. Also, their place is in such a great location! It's on a quiet neighborhood street but an easy 10 min walk to the main Santa Cruz beach and boardwalk in the one direction and to a handful of shops and restaurants in the other direction. I only used my car once while I was there in order to go to Natural Bridges State Park for an afternoon. Other than that, there were plenty of other things to do, see, and eat without needing to drive. Also, the bed was quite comfortable and I loved having my morning tea on the front porch in the sun (especially when the cats were around!). As some people have mentioned, you can hear some noise from the other parts of the house, but it never lasted very long, and never in the middle of the night. I will say that the mini fridge was a bit smaller than I was hoping for all the Thanksgiving leftovers I brought with me, but that is probably not an issue for most people since there are so many restaurants within walking distance. Overall, I would highly recommend this Airbnb for short stays in the Santa Cruz area!
