delia & husband are lovely people, proven by the fresh baked scones i received on the first morning of my stay. along with the homemade goodies was french press coffee, yogurt, fresh watermelon & grapes and homemade granola! simple little touches that make this airbnb technically a true bed & breakfast. i mean, i’ve stayed at places where there’s no food offerings which makes me think: what the heck is the 2nd B (airBNB) for???
i didn’t have a chance to make use of their newly added spa/hot tub but it really looked inviting with the full moon out.
it was absolutely as clean as the other reviews mention. i stay a lot in the santa cruz area as i grew up here. i’ve stayed many times at the Chaminade “Resort & Spa” which is also in a wooded setting. and every time i’ve stayed there i found spider webs and moths in the rooms... but not here.
very homey!
the only drawback (and it’s not the hosts fault) was not having decent cell phone reception. i use verizon and i’ve never had an issue with “low bar syndrome” but during the entire visit i never had more than one bar(sometimes zero) and never had a call that wasn’t riddled with dropping and cutting out.
also the wifi was sometimes, but not often sketchy & even though it showed full bars i couldn’t navigate any webpages on either my phone or laptop.
but these are tech things humans haven’t perfected yet.
i’m sure it will get better in the future!
it was definitely a very nice experience in the mountains of aptos.
