Staying at Carla's was great! Their location is fantastic. Very easy to walk to the "happening" areas and also to get out of town in the car. The cottage behind their house is very private and beautiful. The design is fantastic and it is a wonderful place to stay. A lemon tree outside the front door, an avocado tree hanging over the hot tub, this place is really special. I would recommend it to anyone planning on staying in the Santa Cruz area.
