Room was much much smaller than pictured. Beware! Very noisy both in and around property (an my room didn’t have a street facing window either) Broken window blinds prevented privacy (had to stack pillows to cover the exposed bottom half of the window) TV never really worked. Loose audio wires hanging from the wall and some sort of vent (speaker????) that was peeling away from the wall above the TV. Kind of a dodgy area of Santa Cruz. Not a lot to walk to around the property. Awkward check in process.

The blinds were broken letting too much light in to sleep in, the bathroom was tiny and we had to keep asking for towels. It was a lot of money for just an average room. We were disappointed, hoping for something a little nicer with that kinda of price.

I liked that it wasn't too far from places. I did not like that the host was a little rude and the pillowcases and blanket were not that clean. The bathroom toilet paper holder was broken and the toilet paper kept falling on the floor.
