Romantic Spanish Retreat 2 Blocks From State St. And West Beach

Very nice spacious second floor apartment in a quiet and lovely residential neighborhood. The location is great - close to everything but peaceful. We took the train to Santa Barbara and could easily walk to the apartment from the SB train station. We thought we would use a ride service while there but could walk to everything and never needed a ride. Highly recommend this place and would gladly stay there again. An earlier review mentioned construction noise across the street but this was a non-issue for us during the week. A house across the street is being renovated but there was minimal to no noise while we were there.

We had a great time😊 Comfy beds, beautifully decorated, everything you need plus a fantastic location

The condo was great. The kitchen was especially well stocked and loved having a washer and dryer. I really appreciated the little items like shampoo, laundry soap, flashlight, books to read. The carpets in the bedrooms could use a cleaning but overall the place was clean, comfortable and I enjoyed my stay. I would recommend to a friend or return to this location.

This is a beautiful home, comfortable beds, a convenient location and fully stocked kitchen! We loved everything about this home and when we visit SB, we will definitely stay here again!

First things first: the place was very nice, oozing as it was with vintage California charm. And the location was fantastic! We arrived on Monday evening and didn't have to get in our car again until we left on Thursday morning. Everything you could want was within walking distance - beach, bars, restaurants, shopping...you name it. Everyone who chooses to stay here will have all of that going for them in spades. Unfortunately, there was one out-of-the-ordinary thing that we had in addition to the above: a major renovation project going on quite literally across the street. A cozy breakfast in the sun-splashed dining room...cocktails in the living room watching the sun recede...all accompanied by TWELVE hours each day of multiple circular saws, power sanders, energetic hammering and yammering, etc., all just fifty feet away and in full view from the wide and otherwise picturesque front windows.

Granted, while this appears to be a fairly sizable long-term renovation project, it will eventually come to an end, and it likely won't impact you if you stay here. But for us...not so much. A heads-up when we booked our stay would've been appropriate, but we did not get one. Therefore, if you are thinking of booking this place in late 2018, I would ask specifically whether the construction has been completed. It will definitely have a bearing upon your experience, and it's something you should know.
