We really enjoyed staying at Matthew's place, because it felt like a home away from home. The location was in a great residential neighborhood, which was a few minutes walk to the beach and a few minutes drive to downtown Santa Cruz. Pretty much everything we needed was provided for in the comfortable apartment. We were happily surprised that we were able to make our usual French press coffee in the morning and cook some simple meals when we didn't feel like going out after a busy day of activities. The listing on Airbnb was accurate. There were no surprises, and in fact, the place was a bit nicer than we expected. We would love to stay here again when we are in Santa Cruz!
