A lovely cottage in the backyard of a home on a side street in Santa Cruz - very private and quiet. We loved the guest book Erin put together for the place, offering recommendations on restaurants and sights-to-see, in addition to info on the cottage. The cottage is a large studio, with a big comfortable bed, a dining table, couch, kitchen, and bathroom. It had good wifi and a TV w/ roku. Only about a 10 minute walk to downtown Santa Cruz (with good coffee shops and all!) Overall, it's a great base to explore the Santa Cruz / Monterey / Carmel areas and along US 1. Highly recommended!
