We found the apartment very nice. The listing was accurate and we had no problems with the place. It was within an easy walk to the Boardwalk and a little further brought us to down town Santa Cruz. We rode our bikes most of the time, and the apartment has bike parking. Our schedule didn't leave us time to cook this trip, but we normally enjoy it, so we noted that the kitchen was well equipped. All in all, we spent an enjoyable 3 nights there and we would go back for future trips.
