Barbara's bungalow is in a quiet part of Santa Cruz with easy access to everything you'll want to do during your stay. The bed was comfortable and we slept great (the most important thing!). Despite its small size the bungalow is very well equipped with everything you'll need during your stay including some thoughtful extras like snacks and luxury shampoo and conditioner. The private back patio is also a really nice place to hang out! Barbara's bungalow is an EXCELLENT value for the price and we'd recommend staying here for your travels. If we're ever back in Santa Cruz we'd happily stay again.
