Divine. Slept so peacefully in this quiet sanctuary with private garden, fountain and barbecue situated just blocks from cafes, Funk Zone and State Street shopping. The kitchen was stocked with a wide array of spices, all appliances and every baking/cooking pan I could need. Dishes were fun pottery and antiques, enjoyed! There was both heat and AC! Manager Debbie was just a text away and was ready to assist anyway she could. All was a friendly vacation retreat !! Highly recommend.

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.

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.
