Susan's apartment was the perfect spot for our small family's Spring Break. The place was sun-filled, with a spacious open kitchen, comfy bed and sofa bed. We didn't get to use the outdoor grill area, but I bet it's lovely on a summer night.
And THE LOCATION! A *short* walk to The Boardwalk and beach, a quick drive to Natural Bridges or UCSC. We grabbed lunches in nearby downtown and cooked dinner after shopping runs at Whole Foods and Safeway.
The only caveat is that when the occasional car comes by you will hear it -- small streets, very little easement -- but those were infrequent.
Glad we chose this option over a generic hotel. Would stay again!
