This AirBnB is great value and the photos and description are accurate! I recommend staying there with some considerations. Location-wise, you are a 5-10min walk north of the Santa Cruz downtown strip. For the budget-friendly price of the accommodations, we felt the short walk to downtown was a steal. Also in terms of location, the hosts are very transparent in letting you know that it’s a little atypical, and it’s true. You’re in an industrial area and that comes with noise. During the day we could hear noises such as cutting machines or music off and on. This didn’t bother us much because we were aware of it in advance and we also were out exploring for most of the day. However, if you are someone who may wish to take a mid-day nap or seeking a guaranteed-quiet stay, this may not be the right place for you. At night the area was quiet for sleeping, so no issues there. You enter the apartment through a side alley way and have to go through a couple of doors… it’s a little unorthodox, BUT once you get into the apartment, it is cozy, modern, and inviting! Bed was really comfortable! Kitchen and bathroom are both upgraded and modern. Excellent space for 2 people and there is even a pullout couch for additional guests. Communication with the hosts was quick and easy. Again, they are very transparent about the location, check-in instructions, and any potential noise concerns, so as long as you are ok with that, this place is great value :)
