I very much enjoyed my stay. So close to groceries and so many eateries. Walking distance to everything I needed, plus very quiet and serene. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Though I didn't have time to use the pool, the view was beautiful and added to the serenity. This will be my go to place when I come to Santa Barbara!
