“My husband and I traveled to Santa Barbara for a concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl and this was the perfect spot for us to stay overnight. It's less than a mile from the venue so it was easy for us to walk there, and it's super close to several great restaurants and coffee shops. We had the best time.”
★★★★★
“Beautiful, quiet, upscale, comfortable and perfect location. EV chargers readily available on site in the garage. We will definitely be back.”
★★★★★
“Clean, easy, great customer services if needed.”
★★★★★
“Excellent experience overall. Couple things to improve. First, I didn’t know from initial communication my unit number. It took few minutes and a phone call to the management to figure it out. Second, there was a constant humming noise in the room, either from that giant air filter on the ceiling or fridge, I don’t know. My wife complained about it. But otherwise, everything was perfect.”
★★★★★
“Very practical and well appointed studio for a nice visit. super walkable. good value for the location and amenities, IMHO.”
★★★★★
“Genuinely could not have been a better experience.”
★★★★★
“I was amazed how this property was so clean! Staff and communication was amazing! Perfect location! Walking distance to state st and super close to the beach! I highly recommend this place whether you doing a solo road trip or with family! Parking is okay. if you have a bigger SUV, the parking spot is tight specially when you try to exit .”
