Our family enjoyed our stay in this home, especially the gorgeous views of the trees from all the windows. Note that it’s a very steep climb up the driveway to get up to the house, but then there’s ample parking and you feel like you’re practically living in the tree tops. Our wheels did slip a bit when we did this so it’s not for the faint hearted. However the proximity to Santa Cruz: both beaches and the redwoods being less than 20 min away was a big plus.
I gave it 4 stars as I did feel the home is somewhat dated (older appliances, noisy heater, poor quality towels) and we could hear some noise from the downstairs neighbors (crying children, etc) so we wished it was better value for money.
