The private studio was in a great location just 2 blocks from the beach and about a mile away from the golf course. The renters were very kind, thoughtful and respectful of my privacy. Despite being very busy, soon to be parents they always had a minute to chat about how my experience in Aptos was going and to offer suggestions regarding restaurants, places to run, etc. I would not hesitate to rent from them in the future, if I ever found myself back in the area.
