This is a great, cozy little place to stay while in the Santa Cruz area.
Though the apartment is small, it is very well appointed & situated in a quiet little neighborhood tucked into the redwood forest. As many have mentioned, there are many stairs but that also is part of how it is able to feel so tucked away in the forest. We routinely saw wild turkeys each morning as we drove through the neighborhood & even heard a coyote one night.
It is about a 10min drive to downtown Santa Cruz and 10-20 min to most of activities in the area. The space was a little tight at times for our family of 4 (2 adults & 2 preteens), but functional & beautifully decorated. The kitchen, though it includes basics, is a bit tight for cooking (& no built in stove). However, it worked fine for small meals like breakfast & their are plenty of great restaurants in and around the area to eat out at. Lastly, Lindsay & Max were easy to communicate with & very helpful both before we arrived & if questions arose.
I'd definitely recommend this AirBnB if you are looking for some beautiful serenity among the redwoods, especially as a couple or a small family. Enjoy!
