Location & Accessibility

Situated in a residential hill area, the coliving offers stunning views but requires planning for daily errands. Downtown Santa Cruz is accessible via a pleasant 20-minute downhill walk, a quick bus ride, or an affordable 5-10 minute taxi. While a car isn't strictly necessary thanks to organized group trips, having one provides maximum flexibility for exploring the island.

Public Transport

A bus stop is located just a few minutes' walk from the house, providing regular service to Santa Cruz city center and connecting to wider transport networks. Tenerife's main airports are reachable by bus or taxi, with the host often offering personalized pickup services.

Car Considerations

A private garage is available, making it convenient for those who rent or bring a car. While not essential for daily life due to group trips and local buses, a car is highly recommended for those wanting to explore the island extensively and independently.

Walkability

The immediate neighborhood is very walkable but quiet, with no shops or restaurants in direct proximity. Walking downhill to the city center is easy and pleasant; the return walk back uphill is steep and challenging. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available and affordable for the short trip from downtown.

Key Distances

Approximately 20-minute walk (downhill) to Santa Cruz city center. Bus stop is a 2-3 minute walk from the house. The beach and main amenities are located in the city center below.

Challenges & Tips

The primary challenge is the uphill location. The walk back from town is strenuous. The best strategy is to take a bus or taxi back after a day out. For groceries, plan trips when using other transport or join organized shopping outings. The neighborhood is very peaceful, though occasional dog barking from neighbors has been noted.
