The unit is super nice and confortable, very close to capitola Wharf and Main streets. I was working at UCSC during my stay and capitola is just between 15-30 minutes drive to university and Santa Cruz. You can also take the metro bus, it takes around an hour. Stephanie left us instructions and recomendations and she is always available to answer questions. The beds are very confortable, and the kitchen very well equiped. The unit is very close (5 min walk) to New Brightons state park and beach. 100% recommended!!
