Arlene's place is in a wonderful location with expansive views of the ocean, beach and Pajaro River. It's on the 3rd floor but parking lot is level with the 2nd floor so only 1 flight of stairs to the unit. The unit is quiet; I did not hear any noise from other units or people coming and going. It's a short drive to Santa Cruz to the north and Monterey to the south, so plenty to see and do. Or you can relax on the deck facing the ocean or take the walkway to the beach. I'll definitely stay here again.
