Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marybeth D. 9 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our Stay We had a great week at Chapala Gardens. The location is perfect, apartment had everything we needed including a new water filter (much appreciated filling our water bottles before heading out), the rooftop is amazing and Sandy is attentive and helpful. The pictures exactly match the apartment -- it's cute and comfy, bath & furnishings not updated, but we understood that going in. ##### Marybeth D.

The roof garden is a beautiful setting for morning coffee. The only negatives were unreliable wifi and nearby construction. We would definitely stay there again. ##### Susan S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori S., Davis, CA 6 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Santa Barbara Delight Perfect location to walk everywhere!! Sandy came immediately when there was a kerfuffle with check in (another guest mistakenly took our unit) and rectified the situation! Shower is tough for tall folks but everything else is fabulous! ##### Lori S.

Relaxing and enjoyable deck and rooftop area ##### Kathleen B.

Everything in the unit was as stated in the online booking material. Quiet. Occasional train which I thought was no problem. Beds are excellent. Kitchen as well stocked. Thank you. ##### Jeffrey A.

My husband and I spent 4 nights here and really enjoyed the location and the bed was very comfy. The shower was too small but we made due. The property was in need of some maintenance and Sandy was attentive to it. The roof top gardens were amazing and Sandy was very informative about it and we are very interested in purchasing some towers for growing our veggies on a condo deck when we retire. It was a pleasure staying here and we think it was meant for us to do so😜 ##### Lynne R. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ---
