Matthew’s aloha apartment was perfect for the two of us to have a very comfortable, safe, quiet and restful stay in an ideal location- an easy walk to the ocean, beaches and downtown. Matthew was very responsive, and it’s awesome that half the proceeds are donated to local organizations so we can support the surrounding community.
The apartment was super clean and well-maintained with quality furnishings, including a very comfortable yet supportive bed, sound dampening windows and good blackout curtains in the bedroom. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook hearty breakfasts and reheat take-out. The WiFi was strong and the sitting area was great to get some work done. The hot tub/spa was perfect to use after hiking and being in the ocean.
It’s a 5 minute walk to a beach and the Steamer Lane surf area, 10-15 minute walk downtown or a short drive to the mountains. Despite proximity to West Cliff Drive, the apartment is in a quiet neighborhood. Even during a busy Friday night on West Cliff, we heard more birds and sea lions than cars or people with all the windows open. A lovely place to stay in Santa Cruz!
