We were in Santa Cruz for my high school reunion. Judith's place was an "apartment" sectioned off from her house. It had it's own private entrance and a driveway to park in. We were greeted by Judith while stepping out on the back porch to take a look at the pool. Judith was very nice and welcoming. The room itself was like a studio. Fairly small but adequate. The room had a doubled bed and sink in one section and a bathroom with shower and small space with refrigerator in the other section of the room. The place was very clean and well kept. Judith provided some snacks and oatmeal packets for us. Our only complaint was that the central heater in the room didn't seem to work. We turned up the thermostat. I heard a click as I turned the dial up, indicating that it was turning on. But, I didn't hear any furnace flames or any fans come on or feel any heat coming from anywhere. The room remained cold. Luckily, there was a little space heater provided in the room. We ended up turning that on, which helped a bit.
The location was good. It was 1 mile the reunion site (Bruno's Bar and Grill) and about 15 minutes from the beach.
Other than the heating issue, it was a nice place and served its purpose well. I would recommend Judith's place for anyone looking for a small place to sleep while visiting the Santa Cruz area.
