We really enjoyed our spring break stay in Aptos! Alla's place was the perfect location for us to access the beach easily (short walk in either direction) which was a must for our trip so we didn't have to deal with parking at the beach! We were also able to walk to Marianne's Ice Cream which was right up the street and they had many amazing ice cream flavors to choose from! Check-in was an easy process with the keyless entry and the house was very clean when we arrived! We loved the stylish yet comfortable decor in the house. We did notice the backyard did not have a fence that went all around, so we just made sure to keep the kids away from the area that was missing the fence. Also, the outdoor furniture was a little worn, but still provided the space we needed to enjoy being outside and eat some meals outside also! Our only complaint was the oven being difficult to use - multiple burners were very hard to get them to stay lit and it also took several attempts each time to use the oven, but we let Alla know at checkout and she quickly responded and thanked us for sharing our concerns. We highly recommend Alla's place for your next stay in the Aptos area!
