We stayed two nights, and chose Painted Pony bungalow largely due to its proximity to the Santa Barbara Bowl as we were attending a concert. It was a very easy walk to the Bowl. The neighborhood is charming, quiet and safe. It is also within walking distance (4-5 blocks) to State St., the main entertainment/restaurant area of Santa Barbara. The bungalow itself is also very charming, built 1917 but fully modernized with cable TV, a music setup, and high speed internet. While we didn't eat in, there is a very nice fully equipped kitchen, as well as a gas BBQ. The backyard is very private with trees/bushes shielding neighbors, and there is a large hot tub. There is a mom & pop corner story just a block away, where we got some snacks and newspapers. Beds quite comfortable, and bathroom well appointed, and has a nice shower (important to me!). This will be out "go to" place when we're in SB, especially when with have Bowl tickets. I highly recommend Painted Pony for a quiet unit that is also within walking distance to most SB attractions.
