We enjoyed our stay in Lauren and Mack's quaint guest room in beautiful Aptos. Lauren and Mack clearly love hosting and were incredibly kind in showing us their animals and offering to cook breakfast for us. The accommodation is very close to some wonderful redwood forests which we enjoyed hiking around, and is also not far from a supermarket and a good selection of restaurants, making it a good base for exploring the great coastline and forests in the region.
Lauren and Mack do point this out in their description, but it's worth noting that the driveway is very steep - we ended up keeping most of luggage in the car so we didn't have to lug it up with us. This didn't detract from a great stay though, and we'd love to come back if we were ever in the area again!
