Architectural Gem In The Heart Of Downtown Santa Barbara.

Every thing was easy, beautifully decorated and clean.

Sally was a great host, and the property was truly special. We had plenty of space, and the location was really convenient, highly recommended!

Had a wonderful stay - excellent location, walking distance to everything. Sally was the perfect hostess. We truly felt we had the perfect Santa Barbara experience and this beautiful home made our stay even better!

This lovely and colorful home was the perfect base for our stay in Santa Barbara. Clean, wonderfully furnished and perfectly appointed with anything you need, comfortable beds and multiple spaces to hang out and relax. There is parking for two cars and the home is located within two blocks of State street with a wide array of restaurants, shopping and entertainment. But if you feel like cooking in the kitchen has everything you need (including the nice touch of two water filter carafes - much needed in Santa Barbara as the tap water is awful to drink otherwise). I would highly recommend this home for a perfect base for exploring Santa Barbara.

Great gem in the heart of Santa Barbara. Close to everything; including all the restaurants and Santa Barbara bowl. Owner was extremely good with communication. Checking in, parking, information - everything was a breeze. Would definitely recommend to all. Excellent.

I stayed at Sally's house with some friends of mine for the weekend, and I'm so happy we did. Her place is BEAUTIFUL and really made Santa Barbara feel special! Aside from her amazing home, she was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a relaxing getaway!

Recently, my 2 children, their spouses, and I spent 5 days in Santa Barbara. We enjoyed our stay very much. This precious, unique home can accommodate 6 adults comfortably. It is very conveniently located and within walking distance (3, 4 blocks) from downtown. The house was spotless and Sally was very easy to work with. I was astonished to see how well the kitchen was equipped: from flashlight to bottle openers and much more. Coming from Alabama, we were concerned that there was no ac, but it was not needed. What a nice break from our long, hot summers! Thank you, Sally, for making our stay so pleasant.

The well equipped townhouse has all you need for a comfortable stay. Sally was very nice, accommodating, and helpful. Although it is close to State Street, the house feels like a remote retreat. It's light and airy, with a good breeze when you open the windows. I want to come back in the winter and try out the fireplaces.

The experience was more than we expected. Sally was there to meet us and to show us everything we needed to know about the home. We did plenty of walking downtown, and never needed to pull the Jeep out of the driveway. The home is decorated beautifully and fits Santa Barbara to a T! We will definitely be back.

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… Roger and Karen
