We were welcomed immediately. The house was larger than we had expected and, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it was perfect for our group consisting of me, my wife and our 17 year-old niece. Although there was no TV, we were able to watch Netflix on our iPads thanks to the more than adequate WiFi. The house sits between the city center and the UCSC campus, which was perfect for our plans. I highly recommend David's place for people visiting Santa Cruz.
