The space was great for a weekend with two couples. One bedroom is larger than the other so just know that going in. The images of the apartment are great, and the space felt much larger than we were expecting. The seating arrangement for 4 in the living room could be expanded in our opinion. We were watching movies/tv shows and ended up pulling up chairs so that everyone had enough room. It was great to have the kitchen amenities as we were cooking dinner and it was stocked with necessary items for a solid home cooked meal. The washing machine was useful. The patio was big enough for four to enjoy some quick NYE fireworks. It was a perfect setup for two couples and we would recommend for anyone visiting Santa Cruz.
We ended up walking most of the town - from the apartment, we were able to make it to the beach, up the main street, and back. There was a local liquor store for quick supplies and a delicious Mexican eatery just around the corner. The apartment was cleaned right before our arrival, so it was sparkling clean, which we appreciated greatly. Overall an awesome spot and made our weekend in Santa Cruz a special way to bring in the new year!
