We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Aptos. The apartment is clean and cozy with a comfortable bed, well-stocked kitchen, etc. Myra was great to communicate with and offered some great restaurants recommendations. And this is a nice location on Monterrey Bay with the ocean a few blocks away, Henry Cowell Redwood forest about 20 miles away, and Carmel-by-the Sea and Monterrey are an easy drive south. We would definitely come back again.
