Some friends and I took a trip down to Santa Cruz for spring break. Alice’s place was by far the most affordable option and was in a gorgeous area. You are surrounded by tall redwood trees and can see the ocean in the distance from many windows in the house. However, there were a few things that were unexpected. There were quite a few electrical issues, meaning that some plug-ins weren’t functional as well as some lamps. The heating unit and some appliances in the kitchen also had some issues as well. Although we ran into some of these things during our stay, it was the quirks that actually made the trip more fun and unexpected. Now I can’t speak for every guest after us, so I would work to fix these issues, however, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
