My friends and I had a good 3-night stay in this home. We enjoyed easy access to walks along the beach and cliff path as well as to downtown restaurants and grocery store. Our stay fell during a hot holiday weekend when Santa Cruz was very crowded, so we had some issues with traffic in the surrounding neighborhood which slowed our access in and out at the busiest times. We appreciated having a parking pass and also small parking space next to the house. The home itself was clean and comfortable with a good layout for our group of 3. My bed was comfortable, the shower worked well, and I loved having the Nespresso machine in the kitchen! Kim was readily available for questions and help.
