Charles’ house was well kept, inviting, and close to downtown santa cruz as well as the college. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us our side entrance, as well as the room. Our room had a lovely shower that was really nice to come back to at the end of the day. He was also kind enough to provide a space in his driveway for us, so we didn’t have to deal with street parking. He was very friendly and accommodating, and a talented artist as well! We definitely recommend Charles’ place, and will be back in the future if we find ourselves in Santa Cruz!
