Parking is a bit tight but the overall property is very lovely. My only complaints were the intense moldy/musty smell in the room. Had a sore throat and was feeling nauseous by the next morning. Overall is quiet but having a room on the 1st floor with very loud walkers above and being right next to the staircase wasn't the greatest combo.

Super cute, clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet had delicious scones, muffins, and Danishes. Might be hard to walk up flights of stairs with a suitcase and thought they should have had plates for the muffins and an alternative to Tea and Coffee - maybe juice - for the continental breakfast.

Perfect couple getaway

Very nice and quite cottage right in the center of Santa Barbara. You can walk anywhere. Room was in the back, which was great as we had total privacy on the patio too.

The location is wonderful… close to State Street and within walking distance of the Arlington theate, the court house, the presidio and many fabulous restaurants. We also took a Lyft to the newer ‘ Funk Zone’. Great vibe there.
