Definitely an eclectic space that has a true Santa Cruz vibe. We loved the wood table in the kitchen and found the kitchen features usable and clean. Some other common areas did not appear as clean or should be replaced/updated because of the presence of black mold (shower curtain) or several stains (couch). We used this place to sleep and make breakfast but could not chill on the second story deck due to unremoved garbage (cigarette debris) from previous guests, as well as the constant comings and goings of shoppers walking alongside the house accessing a shop in the back--not conducive to having a a relaxing stay. Restaurants nearby were convenient and the Roadhouse had delicious food.
