I had to drive to UCSC after Thanksgiving from LA. I wanted a bed close to campus and a few miles from the beach where I could rest after the fastidious drive. Charles' place was a great price, and greater location! I could ride my mountain bike to the boardwalk, and get in the car and drive to Costco and campus. This is a jewel for a Slug parent in need of an affordable place to sleep after a long drive. If you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. It's a great deal and it comes with a wonderful host.
