The best thing about this studio is the location! It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and cafe rio and a quick drive to some good surfing spots and the Santa Cruz boardwalk. There is a safeway and a Starbucks about a 2 minute drive away. Also, Liz has a keurig and several appliances in a very efficient kitchen corner which allowed us to make coffee and bagels each morning before heading out to surf. Some minor conveniences were missing (sugar and creamer for coffee, soap for shower and kitchen sink) and the outdoor area is not as shown in pictures (chair cushions had holes and were not clean enough to spend time sitting outdoors). Overall, this spot served its purpose and the room is cozy and cute.
