The Space:

Sleeps up to 4. All beds made up with hotel-grade linens and towels.
The space:
A fully renovated 1-bedroom tucked into a tropical courtyard, steps from the beach. Living room with a pull-out sofa and a 50" flat-screen TV, fast WiFi throughout, and a bathroom stocked with Public Goods products.
Kitchen:
Full kitchen, stocked for real cooking — gas stove, dishwasher, full-size fridge, and oven, plus cookware, bakeware, knives, utensils, plates, glassware, and coffee and wine glasses. Nespresso machine with a starter set of pods, plus a kettle. Salt, pepper, oil, and basic pantry staples on hand.
Shared courtyard:

Once you’ve parked, you can leave the car for the weekend.

Good to know:
This is a lively, downtown-adjacent neighborhood. You’ll hear some city sound, including the occasional train — if you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Please note: the units come with fans but do not have air conditioning. There are exterior security cameras on the property. None are inside the unit. Pets are welcome — there is a $75 pet fee for the stay.

The property was clean and accommodating. The management was attentive and responsive. The neighborhood was beautiful and safe. Within walking distance to everything in Santa Barbara and an easy drive to everything else. 5 out 5 stars
The main couch had a large white stain, and the cleaning crew never came by as expected. Additionally, the extra fan arrived more than 3 hours after the scheduled drop-off time.
