Cozy stay for a reasonable price. The location was fantastic and a short walk to the beach. The communication was fast and accurate so checking in or asking questions came with quick response. The property was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a short stay. I’d love to book again in future trips to Santa Barbara!

It was perfect for me. A couple could stay too. I spent most of my time out and about, but there is a TV and a grill.

We were very satisfied with our stay at Gallaher. It was clean and comfortable with everything you would need for a nice and comfortable stay. It was a sweet neighborhood with a very short walk to the beach. Communication was good and they were very quick to respond to any questions. We would recommend Gallaher for your next visit to Santa Barbara

Starting with communication. Never received information on how to check in, where to park, or how to access the unit. Had to call upon arrival while standing on the street in the dark.Next, we were told there was accessible kitchen by one customer service rep (she sent written confirmation), then we were told actually we did not - despite the room coming with a new sponge and dish soap...The unit itself was so dirty that our feet turned black from walking around inside. Mold growing in the shower, and a rug so caked with grime it was black.Very disappoint. Do not recommend staying at all.
