Alla's place is in a wonderful location -- just a few minutes walk from a peaceful and beautiful beach, better than the more touristy ones. Also close to redwood trails. The deck is definitely the highlight -- we had a beautiful morn ing having brunch & playing boardgame with my daughter, and an evening dinner with my family overlooking the ocean view. The host also provided materials for making Smores on the deck, which my 6-year daughter was also very excited about. Boardgame was very helpful to keep my daughter entertained. Well equipped kitchen, thoughtful touches in the decoration. Alla was very responsive and provided everything we needed for the trip, and recommendations for restaurants too.
