Michael and Mary's place is the perfect place to stay for a trip to Santa Cruz. Spacious, clean, quiet, warm and comfortable. It is very conveniently located and and feels very private, despite being just on the edge of downtown. My hosts left muffins and fresh spring water and they were very responsive to questions I had. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, firm and supportive but soft and comfortable too, a balance not easy to achieve. I will absolutely be staying here on future trips and feel lucky to have found such a perfect place with wonderful hosts.
