This studio bandb is up one flight of stairs. It was very clean (except for the stained carpet) and very quiet. Bed was comfortable. Good sized refrigerator and nice gas stove. Perfect location and except for the weekend we were able to find free parking close by. On weekend we parked free just a short walk to the upper and lower parking lot. View of water from dining area. 4* rating because of carpet stains. I think the carpet was quite old. Also the thermostat was very finicky. It is probably as old as the carpet and should be replaced. We would definitely stay at the bandb again next time we visit santa cruz
