The balcony is the perfect place for coffee, breakfast or just relaxing. Easy walk to the beach and Stearns Wharf. One thing to note is the driveway to the parking is very narrow and the parking area can be tight if every space is being used, so if you are driving a large truck or suv you may have trouble getting in as it felt a bit tight at times in our mid-sized suv. We really enjoyed our stay and would book again! ##### Travis H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erika P.

The location can't be beat. Everything we needed was in walkable distance. It's a big plus to have a dedicated off street parking space. Most of our time was spent enjoying the penthouse and the private deck. We stayed in the penthouse across the hall last year which was also wonderful. We will be back. ##### Karin H.

Great building and unit all around. The location is close to everything; beaches, bay, pier, state street, Funky Town (zone) etc. Only reason for driving is if you wish to see more places than Santa Barbara and its hot spots. Only suprising thing to me, so many vacant store fronts on State Street since my last visit. Will definitely be going back and if this property is available at the time I will book it again. Owner/management very responsive. Thank you. ##### Dino A. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rashaad J. Jan 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great location with room for improvement Our stay had some great features but also a few drawbacks:Pros:Perfect Location: The property is in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore the area.Convenient Parking: The parking lot was easily accessible and stress-free.Spacious Fridge: The kitchen features a large refrigerator, which was very convenient.Thoughtful Touch: The complimentary champagne was a lovely surprise and much appreciated.Entertainment Options: The TV had a great selection of channels and streaming services.Cozy for Two: The unit's size was just right for two people, providing ample space without feeling cramped.Cons:Cleanliness Issue: There was visible mold in the shower, which detracted from the overall cleanliness of the space.Kitchen Limitations: The kitchen was not as fully equipped as advertised, which made meal preparation challenging.Misleading Listing: The listing mentioned a bathtub, but there wasn’t one in the unit.Scented Linens: While fresh linens were provided, the use of heavily scented detergent could be reconsidered for guests sensitive to strong fragrances.Storage Needs: More hooks and adult-sized hangers would be helpful, especially for longer stays.Bed Comfort: The bed was not very comfortable.Temperature Control: Regulating the unit’s temperature was challenging. A fan stayed on continuously, and we were unable to turn it off.Overall, the location and thoughtful touches made our stay and we would stay again, but addressing these issues would be nice. ##### Rashaad J.
