We had a wonderful time staying at Claudia's place. The location is wonderful for those who want easy access to hiking and nature, and Aptos is a beautiful small town! The area would also be great for folks who want an easy drive up to Santa Cruz, or down to Monterey. The decor was thoughtful and beautiful, and we greatly enjoyed our stay and the thoughtful touches that Claudia provided!
One small note-- the suite is directly connected to the main house. The front entrances to both the suite and the house are side by side, and the backyard is also connected to both the suite (via the house's laundry room) and the main house (the latter is detailed in the description of the space). We still found it to be incredibly private and had a great time!
