Barbara's Bungalow had just the right amount of space for the two of us. We stayed 12 nights and were in and out visiting family in the area and appreciated coming back to our own place to relax at night. The bungalow is a charming, private, and comfortable home base to explore and enjoy the Santa Cruz area. We can't wait to stay again! We especially appreciated the filtered water pitcher, sunny outside patio, comfy bed, artistic touches, cooler bag, all the kitchen essentials and the location! As described in the listing, the shower is small, but we had no problems.
Barbara was friendly and very responsive when we had questions or requests. We enjoyed chatting with her and she really wanted us to enjoy our stay. She was very respectful of our privacy - the perfect balance for us.
