Michael and Ashlie's studio apartment is very convenient to town, the beach and many good breakfast restaurants. It is small but perfect for a couple. It has everything that you need to enjoy your trip to Santa Cruz. The TV is a little tricky and we never really got the hang of it. But we didn't spend alot of time in the apartment anyway. There is too much to do outside. They state that they are active family and have children, I never heard them. Parking can be an issue, but we always found a place to park, maybe not right in front of the apartment but very close. We never had to pay for parking. The porch is perfect to sit and drink a cup of coffee and it is a very quiet street. We loved our time there and maybe next time we will try the 2 bedroom and bring family.
