The lovely heated studio cottage is behind my post-Victorian home set 
amid lush greenery, flowers and fruit trees. The interior has been 
completely remodeled. Adjacent to the 9' x 17' main room is a private 
bathroom with shower (no tub). 

Within the main room is a compact kitchenette with sink, 2 hot 
plates, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, 4.6 cubic foot 
refrigerator, small table and chairs, and a double bed. There are 
reading lamps, a dresser and shelves. The cottage has screened upper 
and lower windows, a skylight, and two doors opening into the lovely 
gardens and a new 8 x 12 foot deck, where you'll find outdoor dining 
and seating areas. 

There is a 4' x 8' loft that can accommodate another person for 
sleeping. This cozy area is enclosed by railings (except for the 
ladder access section) and also includes some built-in shelves, and 
fan. There’s ample room for an adult to sit, but not stand.  There is 
a screened window for natural light and a view of the garden.  

IMPORTANT: For safety reasons, children under 7 are not permitted 
in the loft AT ANY TIME.

You'll be doing your own housekeeping, although the owner empties 
trash and supplies fresh towels and other necessities occasionally, 
or at your specific request. If you stay more than a week, your bed 
will be re-made with clean linens. 

Ride your bikes or walk downtown. Less than a block away is a path 
that runs along the levee by the San Lorenzo River. We're about nine 
EASY-walking blocks to the downtown shopping area, and just over a 
mile to the beach, wharf and boardwalk. 

Downtown Santa Cruz has many excellent restaurants, outdoor cafes, 
unique stores and galleries, and movie theaters. Near PTC on Ocean 
Street is the Visitor's Bureau and a few diners, restaurants and 
Marianne's Ice Cream shop with homemade ice cream and pies.
