This place is all about the location, and it's a wonderful one. Tucked away on a small side street, this two bedroom is just what a small family may need for a short stay in Santa Cruz. The space has all the bare essentials and nothing more, so while renting some folk's actual residences may provide more comfortable accoutrements, this home is a permanent rental stocked with more-or-less second-hand items. One thing to note is that the central heat does not heat the bedrooms, so they can get pretty cold at night. There are extra blankets for those who like it warmer (like my wife).

Notwithstanding, I highly recommend staying here: the location is wonderful, the price is fair, and Dore was a pleasure communicating with every step of the way. The noise level at night is low and when you wake up you can walk to the end of the block and be at the ocean. If I went back to Santa Cruz I would definitely see if this place was available again.
