Really nice place. Not fancy, but so well located right near downtown Santa Cruz. An easy walk to the Boardwalk and the beach. This is a great place for a family to stay close to everything in the area. The walls are thin, and you may hear the people upstairs. If you are loud, they may hear you too. That said, this is a great place for Santa Cruz. Rental is spacious, but fairly basic. There is no dishwasher, appliances are older, but the place has a ton of character and is really perfect for explorations of the area.
