Maria and Robert's place was great! had all the necessary amenities, beds were comfy (bed in the bigger room was pretty firm...other room was a bit softer), decor was nice and modern. we felt comfortable throughout our stay and communication was great from the time of booking through out our stay. Robert welcomed us and walked us through the place. their is a flight of stairs up to the apt (probably 15 to 20 steps in total). great location in the heart of Santa Cruz!
