Santa Barbara July-August . 2024

excellent place to stay. Convenient to downtown Santa Barbara and to Montecito. Very responsive host. The accommodations were comfortable and the vaulted ceiling made the place seem spacious. I had everything I needed there. I would highly recommend.

Great Place To Stay

I had an incredible stay! The eclectic decor was delightful, and the hostess was wonderful. Despite the rain, the balcony offered a glimpse of its charm as a perfect hangout spot with a beautiful view. Everything was effortless and clean, and the decor suited my taste perfectly. This is my new zen spot. TLloyd

Quiet and Comfortable

Apartment is in a residential neighborhood a short drive away from the beaches, the wharf, downtown, and neighboring Montecito. Having a car seemed essential, and there's a dedicated parking place. Apartment worked nicely for two people. Kitchen, wifi, etc., were useful. I certainly would consider staying here again.

Great view

Well-thought out and maintained . Over-the-garage unit,with vaulted ceilings and lots of windows and French doors for light and view. Lovely wrap-around balcony. Our only regret was not having enough down time for us to enjoy the balcony more! Jill was a great host, answering our questions, and then disappearing to let us enjoy our stay.

Wonderful Studio

This studio was everything we expected: clean, spacious, and nicely furnished, comfortable bed with good linens, great water pressure in the shower, and a well-stocked kitchen. It’s a great place for a single person or couple. The unit is above a garage, and a flight of outdoor stairs leads to the studio. There is also one dedicated off-street parking space on the property. While we never needed to use the laundry facility it was easily accessible. The nearest coffeeshop is a 4-minute drive (1.5 miles) or a nice 30-minute walk to Montecito. There is some road noise from the freeway but not enough to bother us. The occasional honking of the train can be loud when there is an onshore wind, but we were far enough away that it was a minor nuisance. The only problem was the spotty WIFI coverage, which I’m certain the hostess will have resolved by now. Communication with Jill was excellent, and she responded very quickly when we had questions.

We loved the Scenic Studio. It felt like a cute little nest above the city. Close to Santa Barbara attractions - East Beach Tacos! - and Montecito - Bree-Osh bakery! Quiet residential neighborhood. So light and bright with windows on three sides and distant view of the ocean. Large wrap-around patio with lots of seating. Comfortable bed. Kitchen with all the necessities. It was perfect for our stay!

Fabulous weekend getaway

The Scenic Studio was the perfect place to stay for an impromptu weekend getaway. The location was convenient--we were no more than a 15 minute drive to all the best spots in town. We also enjoyed the porch with the spectacular view. The apartment was clean, comfy, and secluded. Jill was a friendly and attentive host. Highly recommend this spot, it's a gem!

I had the best stay this past week, just what I needed for a 5-day work trip -- quiet location and comfy bed with easy carport parking. Very cozy too, super clean and nicely decorated. Plus Jill was just awesome to communicate with. Of course I would rather give a 1 so I can bring the score down and ensure the place is available on my next trip, but I can't do that to Jill!!! Seriously, highly recommend this place!

Quiet, clean and beautiful

We had a great stay! The property features two distinct units, the Scenic Studio and the Scenic Cottage. Both are lovely units, close to the action, clean and meticulously clean. We actually stayed in the cottage. The units are situated so you get a wonderful cooling breeze throughout. Parking was easy with no hassles, which is a big plus in CA. Jill was very responsive to our needs, and by the way, has a great steak house downtown called Jill's Place. Check it out - it was wonderful! Anyway, you can't go wrong with either of Jill's units for your stay in the Santa Barbara area.
