great location, needs updating

great neighborhood and close to the action of Santa Barbara. needs updating - the kitchen ware is old and not in good shape- we did not feel comfortable using any of the pots and pans, etc. There were no sheets for the hide-a-bed (which had a big stain on the mattress) and the two blankets were balled up in a drawer and smelled very musty. One thing I did not see in the photos was the canal in the back of the property. It was pretty unsightly to look at with floating debris and green water. Even though it did have negatives, there was some charm too it and if you want a place in close proximity to downtown it is a fine place to stay.

NEEDS UPDATING

The configuration of this small unit is less than desirable and not suitable for senior citizens. There are steep winding stairs to the bedroom, closet and bath. All the windows are void of screens so there is no ventilations or air conditioning.

The stairs are very steep and the treds very small, dangerous for people with mobility issues and for children. The stairs should be disclosed in text and photos.

Relaxing in the Sunshine

We loved being a couple blocks from the beach in a quiet neighbourhood. We thoroughly enjoyed having our breakfast and lunch at the unit inside and up on the outside deck and dinners out in the nearby restaurants. The access to transit was great. Our property managers were friendly, helpful with recommendations and prompt at responding. We had a wonderful experience.

Poor Parking

At the price paid to stay in Santa Barbara, Ca. One should not have to jockey around the town’s difficult parking regulations. If there is no way around the city ordinances then this should be ‘loudly’ stated in the original property description.

Great unit, perfect location!

My friend and I took a girls trip to Santa Barbara, and this unit was perfect for this trip. It was walking distance to everything we needed - beaches, urban wineries, restaurants, and shopping. It was private and quaint, and we really enjoy the unit for the 2 of us. Check in and communication was very easy with the host.

Perfect little place

We took our 5 year old son for a 4 day weekend in Santa Barbara and what a treat! This place is small, yes, but has everything you need! We made breakfast every morning, packed fresh lunches from the fridge, and ate dinner out on the town. We walked to the beach, the pier, and several other attractions. The only “struggle” was the parking, but it was NOT hard to find a spot on the street. 10/10 would stay again!

Cute Property, Amazing Location

This place was really charming and included all of the necessities. Bed was really comfortable, and the upstairs balcony/patio was really cool (the back patio was a nice bonus, too). But honestly, we didn't spend too much time in the property because the location was SO great. With just a 5 minute walk, you can get to the beach or to the Funk Zone and its amazing bars, restaurants, etc. Being close to the train station (about a 3 minute walk) was helpful, too ... it does bring some train noise (which didn't bother us too much) but it made continuing our trip on to LA very, very easy. When we visit SB again, this place will be at the top of our list of housing options.
