Papa Dux - A Playful Urban Penthouse

Summary:
Luxury digs in the heart of fun with romantic private deck with outdoor fireplace, Rivera views, steps to beach, Funk Zone and restaurants. Artist-designed, boho chic one bedroom apartment with sofa bed in living room, sleeps 4, well stocked kitchen, High Speed WiFi, 2 TVs, one bathroom, washer, dryer, desk/dining table, AC, Heater and on-site parking for one car. The space covers 700 square feet (65 square meters). Perfect for one or two couples who want a kitchen, living, dining and amenities.

The Space:
Papa Dux is the second floor apartment in The Dux, a three apartment hotel on the urban wine trail. Enjoy mountain and riviera views from this lovely apartment located on the urban wine trail. Experience enveloping luxury in this designer apartment in a classic craftsman house one block from the center of town and five walking blocks to the beach. Shopping, music, dance and excellent restaurants are just steps away.

French doors open to a large private deck with views of the mountains, Riviera and city. The deck is equipped with an outdoor fireplace and BBQ. A 'loft' style great room with cathedral ceiling includes a well equipped kitchen, dining and living areas with TV and High Speed WiFi. A comfortable bedroom with TV is in the rear of the apartment for total privacy. A perfect romantic getaway.

The house is on landscaped property with fruit trees, flowers fountains and off street parking. Pick fresh fruit (oranges, plums and pineapple kiwi in season) and ride the free bicycles for a relaxing stay in the heart of Santa Barbara.

This is one of three apartments in an old home so please understand that this is not a good choice for loud late night partying. Check out the other two apartments: Baby Dux (studio apartment) and Papa Dux (one bedroom).

The Neighborhood:
On the urban wine trail; in the entertainment district, 4 blocks up from the wharf and beach, one block from State Street, the beautiful main artery of Santa Barbara lined with restaurants, museums, shopping and entertainment. The leafy streets of Lower State are lined with trendy eateries serving New American, Mexican, and pan-Asian fare, plus craft breweries and winery tasting rooms. National fashion chains cluster in the courtyards of the Paseo Nuevo shopping center, and buskers play amid stalls selling organic produce and flowers at the weekly Santa Barbara Farmers Market. The kid-friendly MOXI museum has interactive science exhibits.

Getting Around:
Super easy. Wonderfully situated for car-free vacationing. Free bicycles. The town's main street is a block away with free tram service.
