Susan is an incredible host. Her communication was timely, warm, and very helpful. The apartment was great for my family of four ( two adults and two teenagers). The open layout of the kitchen, living room, and dining area made it easy and fun to cook while hanging out. The kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve ever had in an AirBnB. The laundry was very convenient. It rained just about every day so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the patio or covered porch, but it looked very inviting. The house was super clean and had ample fresh towels and sheets. The extra blankets were much appreciated as it was chilly this week. Finally, the Christmas tree and lights made it all the more special.
As for location, it’s close enough to the boardwalk that you can easily walk there but far enough not to be overwhelmed by crowds. It’s also a lovely walk in the other direction to Seabright and other nice family beaches. And it’s a 6-min drive to downtown and 10 minutes to Pleasure Point. Super convenient to some of our favorite spots in Santa Cruz. You can also go on a nice run or drive to West Cliff and Steamers Lane
No complaints!
