This room was great. We were here for just one night but I could see it being a good long term stay in a communal space. The others sharing the space were polite so I got lucky. The living room and kitchen and laundry room is shared but kept clean. I loved that our room was private with a lock and code. The room itself was simple and nice. Pretty clean. But cold! Wish I had brought an extra blanket for sleeping. It's a good place to stay to get around to local areas like Santa Cruz (south) or San Fran (north)!
