Marina is so sweet and was a wonderful hostess! The room was very clean and comfortable. Her place is in a nice location in Santa Cruz with easy on-street parking and close to shopping conveniences (Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Starbucks...). Beaches are within maybe a 10-15 minute drive. I went to a conference at Land of Medicine Buddha which was an easy 10 minute drive too. Bathroom is shared with two other rooms and was very clean. Marina has all the conveniences needed, with a mini fridge in the room, towels, hair dryer, and also access to the kitchen. Room is small but perfect for solo traveler or couple. You get keys at check-in through a lock box and everyone has a key to the front door and to their individual rooms, which makes it very secure. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!!! Thanks Marina!! 😊
