    The place smelled of mildew and cat pee. It’s much smaller than it appears and the window in the photo doesn’t go to the outside but to a laundry room. (This was not disclosed in description) So there are no windows. Only a small skylight in the bedroom. They were doing laundry loudly when we arrived and were trying to nap after a long drive. No heating other than 2 small space heaters and it was freezing cold outside. The bed was very uncomfortable. We chose to leave within a few hours and stayed in a hotel. I contacted the host and shared the issues and asked for a partial refund. I have never been dissatisfied with any VRBO and you can see I’ve given and received good reviews.

    Thank you to our host!We had a wonderful trip that felt welcoming, safe, and warm (both literally—because of the heaters and comfy blankets—and figuratively). Great location and very clean. And don’t get me started on how comfortable the bed is! It has everything we needed, right down to the paper towels.Pros:- mini fridge and microwave- coffee/coffee maker and coffee cups- television (though wifi slow at times)- location- quiet- clean- up-to-date- comfortable bed- quick replies/response from the host- and, my favorite, the skylight windows that open with a remote control to let in fresh airCons:- small space (but has everything even a small closet)- street parking

    The use of space at this property is perfectly used to give what we needed for a trip visiting friends! A cozy bed for rest and a roomy bathroom for freshening up that felt homey! The skylights were actually very nice and gave us the opportunity to wake up with soft sunlight as the weather was great during our stay. Overall a great stay for a couple and would definitely recommend!

    My husband and I stayed here for one night to enjoy the Santa Cruz area. It was a nice location, easy to access and a comfortable stay. It is a small space, so we would not stay here for an extended stay, but for our short trip it was perfect for us!

    Our stay here was great. Ann was prompt in her replies as well as friendly & professional. The location is close to Hwy 1 but far enough away not to have freeway noise. It was a bit challenging to find the right entrance even when following the directions. The room & space is small but utilized well, clean, functional, comfortable, updated, & quiet. The shower needs to be allotted more pressure as it was challenging & took longer to shower with the low flow. I asked for a later checkout time & was allowed to check out by noon instead of 10 am. There is no coffee maker, although there is space for one. I suggested putting in a Keurig. I would definitely stay there again. All in all, a positive stay!

    This is fine for a night or two stay, too small for a week for the 2 of us. We did not scrutinize the listing as well as we should have - the listing was very accurate.As others mentioned, the toilet isn't ADA.

    This rental was clean, quiet, and private. It's very comparable to a hotel room in both size and amenities, but with easier access. Despite its modest size, everything was included: filtered water and glasses, dishware in case you bring takeout home, heater, fans, instant coffee, etc. It's also nice to stay in a residential neighborhood, so that you can see the real Santa Cruz, rather than the touristy version that you get if you stay near the Boardwalk.

    My boyfriend and I rented this location while we were helping my sister move. It was a great spot to come home to and relax! The host was very prompt and polite. Nice big bathroom. Big bed. Loved the sky lights that I can open or shade with remotes. The kitty was adorable and friendly! Only real short comings is no guaranteed parking in front of the home (neighborhood parking), the bed while comfy was really high (I'm 5'3), and there is only a small hotel type fridge and microwave (completely my fault not looking into it while booking) so we were very limited on meal options unless we spent a ton eating out all the time. I would definitely book here again!

    Two miles from Twin Lakes Beach. Quiet street. Easy freeway access. Good bed. Cozy small room. Many provisions are equal to a motel room. No off street parking. Washed dishes (provided) in the bathroom sink. Better than staying at certain relatives house.

    We thought the bed and bathroom unit was cute and located in the area we were going to be frequenting. It was super clean and had all the amenities a corporate run unit. My husband is 75 years old and I am 73. The toilet was a tad low for me to maneuver even with the grab bars. The stop up into the unit needs an additional step. The bed was very comfortable and the decoration’s tastefully done. We would recommend it for able bodied travelers.
