This space in the Aptos hills was beautiful, but know that you need a car to get to the apartment, and there is a long staircase to get to the unit. It would be a difficult place to get to for someone with mobility issues. Heidi and Daniel were friendly and responsive. Their home was comfortable in very peaceful surroundings. We saw a family of deer walking outdoors.
By no fault of the owners, the fireplace was inoperable, but it was a key amenity for me and my partner, so it was disappointing that we could not use it. It would have helped to know that it was not available. The kitchenette could be more functional with the inclusion of a toaster over and/or hot plate for making food. Otherwise, you will need to travel down the hill to pick up prepared food. Heidi and Daniel do offer the option for homemade meals for purchase. However, there is no real option for cooking food on your own.
Overall, a very comfortable and peaceful stay in a serene home.
