Another wonderful stay!
This is our third stay at this property. We wouldn't stay in any other while visiting Santa Barbara. It is cozy, comfortable, fully stocked, the owners who we had the chance to meet are great. The location couldn't be more perfect - 5+ stars!

OK, this is a great location. Walk to State Street ( Santa Barbara's Main Street (dozens of shops and restaurants). One block to a full grocery store. On-site parking, great in an area that is busy during business hours. There were two of us and the unit was perfect for us. We like to cook in our rentals and this place has pots, pans and dinner settings. The unit manager was friendly, helpful and very responsive to our needs. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great unit with great location
Older house divided into 2-3 units, clean and location is fantastic. The unit has a/c which was nice and comfortable. Host is available and they take care of the "little" things that make staying comfortable. EV car charging is a big plus for those travelling in an EV.

Beautifully appointed apartment, comfortable, perfect location!
My husband and I love this apartment! This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed, and we’re making reservations for a 3rd time in 2023. It is such a comfortable, clean and well appointed unit, in the most perfect location, steps from State Street, Funk Zone, beach, etc.

Great location
Loved, loved this property! It was so comfortable and nicely decorated. The chairs were big and comfy and the bed was very comfortable. Every morning we walked 2 blocks for a great cup of coffee, fabulous shopping and restaurants, and had a walk on the pier. We will definitely be returning!
