    Super nice stay and cosy, clean and fresh apartment with everything you need. Extra plus for the super silent AC. The hosts are extremely helpful and easy to reach for questions. The location are the perfect mix of quiet and cute Santa Barbara neighbourhood with just a 10 min walk to State Street with shops and cafes etc.

    Great hotel in a great location. The grab and go porridge in reception was a nice touch. The hotel also provided cookies and coffee which was great also. The rooms were spacious and modern and very comfortable for our stay. We used the heated pool and hot tub which was great.
