Location: Our family recently stayed at the “Architectural Gem” property for a week to prepare for, attend, and celebrate our son’s wedding. We originally selected this property because it was within easy walking distance to the wedding site: Potek Winery (http://www.potek.com/), in the nearby Santa Barbara “Funkzone.” We happily discovered that this property was also within walking distance to almost everything else: downtown, restaurants, coffee shops, beaches, parks, etc. Except for forays into the countryside to visit flower farms, our car mostly stayed parked (in the covered carport provided.)
Comfort: We found this property to be exceptionally comfortable, remarkably quiet for a downtown location (those thick stucco walls?), and very well (and generously) stocked with all the essentials needed for a week-long family gathering.
Charm: We especially admired and enjoyed the creative way Sally decorated her property: an eclectic and colorful collection of artwork of all types: photos, paintings, tile work, statuary, etc. Every room had little “surprises” to be discovered and appreciated. The “charm” adjective can also be applied to our host, Sally, who we found to be exceptionally friendly, gracious, and helpful.
We can easily and happily recommend the “Architectural Gem” to others…
