Not easy to sleep

The large uncovered window made sleeping difficult if you like a dark room. Also the noise from other units plumbing was loud enough you couldn’t talk through it let alone sleep through it.

Centrally Located

The property was very well maintained. Everything was clean and very new. We appreciated the ammenities, the security measures, and the comfortable bed. We did not know where all the restuarants and shops were, but we were pleasantly surpised to find that everything we wanted to see was only 10 minutes from the unit. State street, the Boat House(Great beach restaurant). The place was very quiet, and a great outdoor area to relax. If you are planning a Santa Barbara trip, definitely consider this property.

Relaxing and Luxurious

This little room was perfect for my husband, me, our service dog and our service dog in-training. The bed was so comfortable and water pressure was amazing. The outdoor area was beautifully maintained and the location was accessible and pretty much centralized near all of the places we visited.

Great Place / Horrible Property Management

Great location & nice unit with comfortable bed. Property mgmt woke us 2nd morning ther to ask if we were running cold water. We explained our white noise apps were making sound that probably sounded like running water. Got email from mgr - very ugly tone with incorrect info on his “rep” coming into unit & the water stopped. Said that a city water employee had noticed the excessive water usage. Yeah right! Won’t stay there again as properly mgmt was so horrible.

Lovely Santa Barbara Studio

We had a lovely weekend in Santa Barbara. The studio was clean and comfortable. The property grounds were safe and well groomed. Our place was a short walking distance from State Street where we found yummy restaurants and shops. We only used the room to rest so it was perfect. The studio had all the necessary amenities for a short weekend.
