This cozy little unit is located within walking distance of Downtown Santa Cruz, in an alleyway behind an industrial shop (so pack ear plugs if you're sensitive to noise and an eye mask if you're sensitive to light since the bedroom does face a few windows but the windows have good shutters on them). My partner and I went during one of the last weeks of summer during the third week of September 2021, so we had to keep the portable AC unit on through the night to stay cool, which meant getting woken up throughout the night whenever it turned on and off. The unit was almost exactly what we expected for the nightly rate and location: clean, comfy bed with memory foam mattress topper, nice kitchen space, and decent shower and bathroom. The host was very responsive and sent all the check-in instructions to us in advance, so that was very appreciated. We likely won't stay here again, but it was mostly because of the noise from the surrounding construction and industrial shop, which the host does specify in the listing. This place is good for the rate, especially if you're on a stricter budget.
