This is a good value for Santa Cruz and a great location. The interior is nice and looks like the pictures. Be warned though that from the outside it's a dump. You enter from the alley, surrounded by chain link and razor wire. There was someone sleeping outside the door. Getting in was somewhat difficult with two doors and very strange unlock directions. They sent me no less than 7 photos about how to unlock the door. Simplifying the lock situation is recommended. The only hiccup was when the washer/dryer wasn't working and I asked the host to bring an extension cord, as numerous times they said they were available (I moved the dryer-it worked in another outlet). They said no, "We have a baby." There are 4 hosts for this place so I asked if one of them could bring the cord and suddenly the person responding changed (Brenda to Happy) and they said, "It's a family's personal matter who takes care of who. There's no need for you to be angry. You don't know our life situation." SO weird!
