Hal's place is a nice 2-level townhouse, perfect for a couple or a small
family. The (upstairs) master's bedroom and bath are spacious, while
the (downstairs) guest room is solid. The master bed is a water bed,
which we had not expected, but turned out to be very comfortable. The
kitchen is big enough for a small group, but not huge, and the kitchen
equipment is a bit on the sparse side. We bought a few extra things, as
we do a lot of home cooking.
The complex has a small number of units and is very serene, with ample
open space. The location is just about perfect, within easy walking
distance of the Saturday farmer's market and longer walks (or short
drives) to plenty of places to eat and drink around Mission St. Access
to the beaches on the west side is also very convenient, and the complex
is right next to the Arroyo Seco Canyon trail, which is a nice easy hike
to Meder Park.
We had no problems while we were there, and Hal was very responsive with
any questions. We'd be happy to stay there again next time we're in
Santa Cruz.
