Jeanie emailed before my stay about making arrangements for me to access the house as she would be at work. Loved the location as very convenient to getting to Rt 1 N/S which is what I used to travel most days. Area is quiet and family friendly. I had a fair amount of interaction with my hostess which I enjoyed but since the space is totally separate from her living space you could chose to have less. You are welcome to join her in the upstairs space if you desire. I love having A washer/dryer available as I stayed for a week here and was able to wash my clothes before leaving for the next stay of my vacation. Bed very comfortable for me. Close to restaurant and shopping but off the beaten path. Will try to stay here again if I get back to the Watsonville area.
