This is a quintessential Santa Cruz Mountains (basement) apartment, and it has a nice amount of light. The heater kept things cozy, although it did smell a bit like propane. There is also a huge closet space, nearly the size of another bedroom! We heard the owners happy dogs upstairs a little bit, but it was never bothersome. Also, they were very generous in telling us to let them know if it ever got too noisy, which it never did. There is a nice selection of books on some of the shelves that I enjoyed looking through. Also I especially appreciated the little vase of Mexican Sage flowers on the table when I arrived. Take note: it can be easy to pass their street, so look carefully for the little white street sign on the left. The apartment is large, simple and has plenty of parking. The driveway is a little steep, so back in, or just park on the flat gravel area out front. We had a good experience here!
