We had a great stay at Chibo's place. We really liked the simple environment of the apartment's Japanese styling. Check in and out was easy, but most important for us was our busy schedule over the weekend. We had events in Santa Cruz and Monterey to attend, and small quiet Aptos, in between the two cities, was a perfect location. From the apartment to the beach is a very short walk, and we were delighted to find the Bistro on the beach serving great pastries for a morning coffee. We didn't see Chibo during our stay, but everything was well set up for us to easily settle in, and email communication about a couple small questions received quick replies. The apartment is in a typical hillside California oceanfront community, with that wonderful chaotic mix of architectural styles that always gives you something interesting to see. We had several nice conversations with people in the neighborhood - so nice to stay in a friendly relaxed community!
