This is a very comfortable, clean and convenient place to stay if you want to be right in the midst of everything in Santa Cruz. Easy walk to downtown or the beach. The room and private bath are very spacious and clean. The private entrance is great. And the front porch is a nice sunny spot to have your morning coffee. It's wonderful to have a parking pass. Michael and Ashlie are great communicators and gracious hosts.
This is not a quiet area of Santa Cruz, but I wasn't expecting that. If you want quiet it's best to stay away from the downtown area. Kindly though, Michael and Ashlie do supply ear plugs if the noise bothers you. I never really had to use them though. Michael and Ashlie's place was exactly what I was looking for. Hope I can stay there again next time I'm visiting my family!
