“In my opinion, what stands out is the proximity to Santa Cruz Boardwalk and local eateries, despite some concerns about noise. The spacious king-sized bed and the convenience of having a refrigerator and microwave are definite advantages. However, potential guests should be aware of possible maintenance issues and the risk of encountering some disturbances.”
