What a great little house! It was in the perfect place to explore Santa Cruz. The host was out of town while we were visiting, but she made it very easy to get the key and let ourselves in and out, so we didn't have to worry about meeting up with someone.

The house was a VERY close walk to the beach (right on West Cliff Drive!) and a close walk to a nice neighborhood brewery and bakery. It's not an easy walk to downtown Santa Cruz, but it is close to a bike rental place (Epic Cycling?) where you can rent a cruiser bike for $25 per day and then you can get anywhere. It was the perfect home base for visiting the area.
