Cozy Pied-a-Terre in Downtown Santa Cruz

Private apartment located in the heart of Downtown Santa Cruz. Set back from the street with private entrance and bathroom. High, pine ceilings, natural light, and garden views. The beach is a few blocks in one direction and downtown cafes, restaurants, and shops around the corner. The apartment is best suited for two and guests can enjoy the sunny backyard as well. The bedroom has a comfortable queen bed and cozy bedding. The TV room has a pull out sofa (sleeps one) and the sitting room has a daybed (sleeps one). The kitchen is well appointed for cooking or just enjoying a nice cup of coffee or tea. Please contact host if your group is over two. Special arrangements will need to be made and are subject to availability. Private entrance, access to the backyard. My schedule rarely allows me to meet guests when they arrive. But the lock box and code allows guests to arrive at whatever time is convenient for them. I am always available through Airbnb, phone, text or email. The property is located in a vibrant neighborhood full of students and artists. The home is perfectly situated to explore downtown or take a 10-minute walk to the beach to discover famous surf spots. Bus stop going up to the University of California Santa Cruz is one block away. Metro hub with all buses is a 3 minute walk from the studio. Cafes, restaurants, bars, shops, etc. are all within a few blocks proximity. Common walls allow sound to travel; practice being reasonably quiet in order for all guests to feel comfortable. Be respectful of neighbors and practice common sense. My City of Santa Cruz transient occupancy registration certificate number is 877-955.
