The Aloha Apartment is the ideal location for people wanting to experience the beautiful West Side of Santa Cruz. It's 1 block away from Cowell's Beach and within a 5 minute walk to the Lighthouse. I felt it was far enough away from the kitschy area of Santa Cruz (boardwalk) to provide a more relaxed and less touristy feel and the apartment really delivered. It's quiet, private and has plenty of space for relaxing, eating and sleeping. Bed was comfortable and the whole neighborhood was quiet. We never met Matthew but his response time was always quick when we had questions prior to our stay. Thank you for hosting and sharing your space on Airbnb!
