Pros: close to the beach
Very comfortable bed
Cons: WAY OVERPRICED for what you get. Seriously don't spend $400 for 2 nights here. I feel ripped off.
*Small, stuffy studio. Smelted like a retirement home. We left all the windows open our entire stay.
*No amenities in terms of coffee or the like.
*Very low quality bath products (white rain, etc)
*Dingy, not as nice as the photos
*quiet private chairs and table outside is just a table and chairs by the walkway. Not private. Neighbors were chainsawing and doing yard work during our stay so certainly not usable all the time.
The hosts don't live in Santa Cruz, they just own the property. So bascially another case of someone wealthy nabbing real estate in a neighborhood and instead of living there, extorting it's value to tourists because it's close to the water. Couldn't contact them if I wanted to as they were camping so if you need anything from the host while you stay here you are on your own.
My advice? Save your cash and go stay with someone who cares about the property, not just someone who hires a cleaning person and collects checks from Sausalito.
