The location of this home is less than a mile to town, the Henry Cowell Redwoods Park and only 15 minutes to Santa Cruz. The location is perfect. However, please be aware that the upstairs and downstairs are NOT connected by an indoor staircase. Therefore you have to exit the house and walk in front of the home to access the two downstairs bedrooms. So pack a robe? If you have very young children, this location may not be ideal. There is no AC and the windows do not open (very old house) so it's quite stuffy and smells a bit moldy, so those with allergies may have issues. We contacted the management company and they said there were fans in the closets which helped a little with the stuffy air, but when we opened the doors to let in fresh air, the mosquitoes came in too. If you only plan on sleeping in the house, the location is ideal. The house is well-stocked and other than the above mentioned unexpected issues, it was adequate.
