We very much enjoyed our stay in Santa Cruz. This apartment is right in the center and is in easy walking proximity of the shops, restaurants and the beautiful beach. We were a little worried about the noise because there is no air conditioning so the windows need to be left open but the weather was cool and the noise did not prove to be a problem. We did mention to the host that different chairs would be necessary for bigger people to eat comfortably in the dining area but this is easily remedied. The dryer mentioned in the advert is a air drying stand for clarification.
