We were very thankful for this wonderful space just near the beaches of Santa Cruz! The space was clean, cozy and well stocked with everything we needed. Peter and Marie were very friendly and attentive if we needed anything. Overall I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because we felt a little uncomfortable with the rules. We have 2 kids and found it extremely challenging to keep to strict quiet time hours after 9, especially after being out traveling around all day and getting back to "unwind" so close to 9pm sometimes. The hosts live directly below and like to go to bed early and there is an apartment just adjacent...and the walls are paper thin. We also looked forward to using the hot tub but there were rules surrounding that AND we didn't know til closer to arrival time that we had to provide our own supplies to clean it after use (hydrogen peroxide). after going on a hunt and finding some we were finally going to use it and people from the other studio were using it. We left the 2 bottles we purchased for the next guests. Parking was okay but sometimes hard to find a space nearby on the street. Showers are strictly supposed to be kept to 5 mins which is understandable but was hard to do with a family of 4, (2 kids) after a long and cold day on the beach.
