My husband, our one year old and I stayed here while visiting some family in Santa Cruz for Thanksgiving. It ended up being perfect for us. They even had a rocking chair which came in handy. The kitchen is well stocked with many useful items. The quirky hallway behind the living space was perfect as a walk in closet and storage for luggage. We could hear a few footsteps above us as mentioned, but it wasn’t a problem at all. We all slept soundly! Overall the house is really cozy and we were very comfortable staying here for four days.
