Bottom line: highly recommended.
Details: I originally booked Sharon's place for 3 days, but after a couple days, extended my stay another 2 evenings. I would have stayed even longer if I had the time. That should tell you bucketloads.
- Sharon's home is delightful, peaceful, and sports great views off her balconies.
- Sharon herself is awesome and puts a lot of effort into making your stay comfortable. It wasn't just me, I saw her give the same quality of care to 3 other guests even while she was feeling quite ill. This lady is kind AND tough.
- Aptos is a great lil' area. A hop away from the great vibes of Capitola and a skip away from Santa Cruz. Monterey is relatively close as well, and Sharon can loan you an aquarium pass to save you a nice chunk of cash.
