This location was absolutely perfect for our weekend of exploring Santa Cruz. Everywhere we wanted to go (beach, boardwalk, downtown shops & restaurants, breweries, etc) was about a mile away in varying directions. So we would venture out by foot and then at the end of the day we'd take a short Uber/Lyft ride back from wherever we ended up. The cottage was bright, clean, and comfortable. Decor was modern and stylish. Although this unit is attached to Carla's brother's residence, the shared wall is in the bathroom, so felt like we had the privacy & noise level of a standalone unit. Bring your own soap/shampoo for the shower.
