My partner and I stayed here for one night, and we had a wonderful time! The location was great, right above some local shops and directly across the street from Verve Coffee Roasters, one of my favorite California coffee companies.
The view from the windows was directly facing the sunset, and we baked a peach cobbler together in the kitchen (Trader Joe’s and Target are about a 5 minute drive away, so getting supplies was easy!), which was quite fun and romantic in the golden hour light.
The apartment was slightly dirty - one of the trash cans hadn’t been emptied from the previous tenant, and most of the soaps were empty, which was a bummer.
I understand for some people this would be a deal breaker, so I feel the responsibility to mention that.
But we still enjoyed ourselves!
Overall I’d say it is a decent place to stay in Santa Cruz, walking distance from some great eateries. I love sunsets, so, to me, the sunset-facing windows made it the most worthwhile.
