Our 3-month stay in Lisa's Aptos home was one of the best Airbnb experiences we've ever had.
The home was exactly what we were looking for: super clean, in a safe and walkable neighborhood, updated interior with hardwood floors, modern appliances, commute-distance to work, and beautiful furnishings. We quickly fell in love with the neighborhood, the <10-min walk to the beach, the coastal weather, local grocery store and restaurants, the quick access to Santa Cruz, Capitola, and Monterey, and much more.
Lisa's communication and hospitality went above and beyond; she was quick to respond to any and all questions, and checked in periodically to make sure we had any/all supplies (toilet paper, coffee, paper towels, etc) we needed. The house was well-furnished and had everything you needed for a multi-month stay (including reliable wifi). Her welcome guide to the home and the area was like what you'd expect from a hotel concierge. We tried a bunch of the restaurant, activity, and beach recommendations she had, and they were all fantastic.
We feel lucky to have stayed in Lisa's home and to have discovered such an incredible place to live.
