David's beautiful house in Santa Cruz was the perfect place to spend a quiet and relaxing New Year's Eve weekend with 3 of my friends. David was an excellent host, communicating with me regularly before, during, and after our stay. It's only a few minutes drive from Downtown Santa Cruz, the UCSC campus, restaurants and shops on Mission, and the site of the wedding we attended that weekend at Seymour Marine Discovery Center near Natural Bridges Beach. The neighborhood is full of cute historical houses, both large and small, feels quiet and safe, and has lots of trees. The house is very clean and comfortable, and there is a spacious kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook meals. I'm the kind of person who is very picky about cleanliness and likes to stay at boutique hotels, and David's house satisfied everything I was looking for in a place to stay: great location, clean, inspiring décor, and excellent amenities. One thing that I didn't think to ask about, but was happy for: there's no TV in the house, which was actually really great so we could all unplug and unwind. Also, great for couples, as there are two separate bedrooms and bathrooms. I wish I could live in David's house all the time! But since I can't, I would definitely stay there again next time I'm in Santa Cruz. Thank you David for an excellent stay!
