It is a nice spacious modern looking and clean apartment, but I would only recommend it for a shorter term stay, or as kind of like a more comfortable hotel room with very very limited Cooking and washing. Location is nice for families with kids, Watson park and Backesto park are both close, both with playgrounds. Neighborhood is calm, safe, SJ downtown is close, Santa Cruz (beach) is 45 mins. If you have a car this is as good a starting spot for discovering the SJ area or Bay area as any. Just don't be too loud or don't do anything that Sky doesn't like ;)
