Carrie’s space is SO COOL!!! When looking for somewhere to stay in Santa Cruz, my friend and I were surprised by the cost compared to the quality. Carrie’s space is a great deal comparatively and so much more special and quiet! You can tell there is a lot of love that has gone into decorating her home and Gus over time. I am a huge sucker for tchotchkes and vintage and maximalism and Carrie has it all.
The only thing a visitor might want to consider is that the top bunk might be tricky for someone with mobility issues but I am a 5ft3 able bodied 32 year old and had no issues. My 5ft10 friend took the lower bunk and we both had a great night of sleep. Checkin and checkout is easy. Carrie has clear instructions for everything and is so friendly and responsive. I would love to stay here again.
