We had a lovely time staying in Bruce's home. It was the perfect layout for our family - our older son had his own room and we had space for our little one in his cot in our room downstairs. My parents, who were with us, had their own space, including bathroom, upstairs. The location was perfect - very close to the beach, and a short drive to UCSC, downtown, and the wharf. The only thing to keep in mind is the blinds are more for privacy than blocking light, so the bedrooms, and especially the child room downstairs, is quite bright. It might be good to bring some blackout curtains to tack up if that's a concern. Otherwise, everything was perfect - we'd definitely stay here again!
