The house is at the top of a wonderful hill with a fantastic view of the Santa Cruz mountains while still within a km of the heart of downtown: a moderate walk or short bike ride, with a nice invigorating climb back (short and steep or longer and moderate options). The room is adequately private and I’d stay again. Only issue was a very slow internet connection but Leslie is working on it so it should be corrected soon. Cellular data was fine on my phone (Cricket). The local cycling is fantastic so if you like hills this is a great option.
