Perfect location, perfect space
This was our second stay at this adorable place. It’s cozy, has all the amenities you need, the linens smell really clean and freshly washed, everything is clean. The bed and even the pullout are super comfy. The owners are really responsive and helpful. The location of this place is perfect for walking to the funk zone and state street. This will be our “go to” when we stay in SB. I love this place and can’t wait to come back.

Family Hangout
We have two children living in California and were able to spend time with them at this location, cook some of their Midwest family favorites, send hours relaxing and playing games in the outdoor area. We will definitely be back.

Coffee on the porch.
We had a wonderful stay with attentive hosts, and we would go back in a heart beat! Walking distance to so many things. Bakeries, the pier, restaurants and even museums. The porch was a great place for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon. So glad we chose to stay here!

Holiday getaway
Enjoyed our stay - we were visiting family nearby and this place gave us some time to ourselves, too. Enjoyed the creek and birds; nearby Funk Zone was a plus. We would return! While near the train, the noise was not an issue...

Wonderful location, comfortable studio
My husband, our daughter, and I just had our third stay in this unit, and we continue to be delighted with it. The studio is very roomy and well-supplied, and the covered balcony offers lots of enjoyable outside seating options. We had a great time and hope to return!
