Kim and Jason were gracious hosts throughout my stay. The home and the room offered were spacious and comfy. Check in and introduction regarding the amenities and other house rules were straight forward. I appreciated the free drink Jason offered me upon my check in! The room itself has kitchen utensils, a microwave and other useful items to help you feel at home during your stay. I enjoyed the location of this listing for its tranquility and its convenience to decent hiking/biking trails. There was a Safeway store located a few mins away which is a plus in my book. I had an issue of my laptop not connecting to the available WiFi for guests but no issue for my Android phone. Kim and Jason were really accommodating in helping me get connected to the point of granting me access to their home desktop. I feel most people would give up after a few minutes but Kim and Jason assisted me as best as they could! Their kids were sweethearts and of no bother to me during my brief stay. As I had never stayed in other parts of the Santa Cruz area other than Santa Cruz proper, I felt quite relaxed while staying with Kim and Jason. If you are looking for a peaceful stay in the Santa Cruz/Aptos area and don't mind being in a family environment, Kim and Jason's is worth checking out.
