It's a terrific place in a beautiful location. Staying here gives you a total Santa Cruz experience. You can go down to the beach and see the local sites, but at the same time you are up in the mountains were it is serene and peaceful. The room is more like a private apartment with your own large bath and kitchen facilities. For Central California, it is a bargain as well as a pleasant place to stay. The hosts are very nice, helpful and non-intrusive.
