We loved our stay here, what a sweet base to experience SB! The apartment has a wonderful boho esthetic that blends comfort and simplicity so well. We felt like we were in our own little Wes Anderson movie, the ritual of opening all the windows for air, and the simple pleasures of bringing back breakfast to enjoy on the front porch. It's so close to Funk Zone, downtown, and the beach we just left the car.
We loved our stay at Guusje and Erik's place. Check in/out was super simple. The location is great, close to so many great restaurants and attractions. The house has everything you may need durning your stay. We would definitely stay here again.
This studio is the perfect spot for a young couple looking for a relaxing beach vacation. So close to the beach and so many restaurants, bars, and shops. The place is clean and organized and fit all of our needs.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is well appointed for a small family or couple. Location is fantastic, just steps away from everything you need in Santa Barbara. Looking forward to returning someday!
This is a wonderful place to stay in Santa Barbara. Close to State Street, the Train Station and Beach. The balcony is superb with so many spots to sit and enjoy the sun. Perfect for a couple or small family. 5 stars all the way around!
This was our second stay at this adorable place. It’s cozy, has all the amenities you need, the linens smell really clean and freshly washed, everything is clean. The bed and even the pullout are super comfy. The owners are really responsive and helpful. The location of this place is perfect for walking to the funk zone and state street. This will be our “go to” when we stay in SB. I love this place and can’t wait to come back.
Enjoyed our stay - we were visiting family nearby and this place gave us some time to ourselves, too. Enjoyed the creek and birds; nearby Funk Zone was a plus. We would return!
While near the train, the noise was not an issue...
We have two children living in California and were able to spend time with them at this location, cook some of their Midwest family favorites, send hours relaxing and playing games in the outdoor area. We will definitely be back.
Cute little boho apartment in a prime location very near the beach, we were able to walk to most places. So much to do and see in Santa Barbara! We highly recommend a trip to the Channel Islands and a wine tour with @Captain Jacks tours.
We had a wonderful stay with attentive hosts, and we would go back in a heart beat! Walking distance to so many things. Bakeries, the pier, restaurants and even museums. The porch was a great place for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon. So glad we chose to stay here!
We found our place in Santa Barbara. Terrific location, spacious, clean and has everything you'd need. Communication detailed and friendly. Will be returning.
My husband, our daughter, and I just had our third stay in this unit, and we continue to be delighted with it. The studio is very roomy and well-supplied, and the covered balcony offers lots of enjoyable outside seating options.
We had a great time and hope to return!
