About this property
Cozy Studio in the Heart of Santa Barbara's Historic District
La Casa Escondida D is a cozy, quiet retreat perfect for 1-2 people in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara’s historic district. Settle into an open-air space complete with high ceilings, kitchen, gas fireplace, bathtub, a charming private outdoor garden patio and off-street parking. Walk to downtown via the El Presidio historic district, brimming with hip coffee shops, cheese shops, wine shops and an incredible farmer’s market.
The studio is furnished with an array of antiques, collectibles and original works of art. The kitchen is equipped with cookware and dishware, a 2-burner stovetop, toaster oven large enough for pizza and roasts, microwave, refrigerator and a small sink, perfect for enjoying a meal in or breakfast on the private garden patio. The queen bed is dressed in crisp linens and a cozy down comforter. Above the bed is a loft for use as a storage space. The separate bathroom, with skylight and new flooring, boasts privacy with the sink area in a room adjacent to the combination tub/shower and toilet.
Find Santa Barbara’s cultural highlights within walking distance including the Lobero, Arlington and Granada theaters with live music, opera and symphony performances as well as the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the historic Santa Barbara Courthouse. State Street, Santa Barbara’s downtown shopping district, filled with boutiques and restaurants, is also within walking distance. The beach, harbor and wharf are a short bike or cab ride away. Depending on interests, a car is optional. We are 12 blocks from the Amtrak station and about a 20-minute ride from the Santa Barbara airport in Goleta.
We have hosted a number of guests who work remotely or are in town for extended work contracts and educational programs as well as former Santa Barbara residents who still enjoy spending time in our special city.
La Casa Escondida D is one of four studios in our bungalow building and we have created a peaceful, private environment for our tenants and guests. We hope that you feel enveloped in comfort in our special space, enjoying the unique details that we have worked hard to create and the incredible culture that Santa Barbara has to offer.
