Melanie's place is one of my favorite airbnb's! I love the private yard with the fire pit and chairs, we were only there for one night but if we had more time we would love to use that next time to make smores! As for the space itself, I was very impressed with how space efficient it was. The room has a modern vibe, I love the bathroom design - not to mention her whole place was spotless! I love that the kitchenette was well stocked and Melanie was sweet enough to surprise me with a cake for my birthday! Overall I had such a lovely stay at Melanie's place and I would recommend it to anyone who's visiting Santa Cruz, you will love it!
