Carla's little cottage is lovely and a great location - close to downtown and central enough to drive to the beach and a few breweries. We had an easy time finding parking in the neighborhood (very residential) and walked around for bars/restaurants through the weekend. The cottage is perfect for 2-4 with one bedroom and an open space (no kitchen but fridge/microwave/table/tv and very clean closet/bathroom). It's cozy with a private patio and backyard as well as decor on the interior. Highly recommended for couples or small families who want to enjoy Santa Cruz!
