The view from the apartment is fantastic and it’s only 5 mins to the beach (steep hill as others have said) We liked the area because it’s quieter than Santa Cruz but you can still drive to Santa Cruz in 15 mins if you want more. The bedrooms are decent sizes and the sitting room is pleasant because of the light and the view. We travelled with my toddler and had to keep the doors closed on the balcony because the balcony railings were too wide and he would’ve been able to fit through. There’s also steps to the apartment but they were OK for us. Overall, the view and proximity to the beach made it for us.
