I moved to Santa Cruz and I stayed at Hinds House while looking for a permanent place. I was there for 16 days. Great place to stay in Santa Cruz. Very central, walking distance from all attractions in town. Beautiful house, inside and outside, and very well maintained. All amenities are well explained and accessible. I would recommend it. It can get a little noisy as the street is quite busy, but that's part of being central and doesn't affect the positive experience in my opinion.
