Appreciated the snacks and water and fresh cut flowers. Extra blankets, pillows, and towels easy to find. Good communication with Fatima. I will echo what others have said about the shower as I was glad someone had previously reviewed and mentioned it so I could make my own decision- it is about 18-24 inches down without a safe way to step in and a large picture window which is uncovered. I had a plan to make that all work for me. There is no other option to shower otherwise. It may impact your decision to stay here. Having said that, I would still stay here again. Cute shops and yummy restaurants close by. search for Miramar and Butterfly beaches for off the beaten path areas to beachcomb. Thanks Fatima! ##### Barb H.

The location was wonderful for exploring Santa Barbara, visiting Goleta, Lotusland, and Chanel Islands, and attending a wedding in Carpinteria. The studio had everything we needed, was clean, and private. Parking was very handy. We would definitely choose this property again! Thank you for the nice stay! ##### Sierra G.

Bed was comfortable, nice linens well decorated. I would/will stay again. Be worn though that step down into shower is a doozy. My friend is just getting over an Achilles tendon injury, so a bit difficult but she managed. Otherwise this place was perfect. On, fridge works so well it froze our food. You do get a little freeway noice, I didn’t find it bothersome was able to sleep soundly. ##### Ana H.

The room is large, spotless, and private. Parking spot was extremely convenient since it’s hard to park around there. Although it is very close to the fwy, It feels peaceful and very little noise inside. Yes… the shower is unique. No problem for me but may be for some. Fatima went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and even added another box for Netflix to the unit. This will definitely be my go to in Santa Barbara. Nice short drive to downtown. I highly recommend! ##### Esther C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### June N., Saint Paul 24 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Stay A charming studio, very well equipped and provisioned! I was struck by the attention to details to make sure guests have a good stay. The linens, sundries, and amenities was not only high quality but well thought out in terms of what a guest might need. The whole set up is planned for maximum comfort, Fatima has thought of and provided everything you may need - and more. I was on my own, but a couple would be very comfortable too. I noticed in other reviews comments about the shower. It is part of a step down sunken tiled tub with a huge picture window wall looking out on flowering plant wall - completely private and lovely. It makes the studio very special.There is walled patio with comfortable seating, a grill, a fountain and lovely flowering plants and roses. There you can hear the freeway traffic, not so in the studio. Fatima welcomed me with a bottle of wine, and checked in with me multiple times. I recommend her studio unreservedly, and look forward to returning. ##### June N. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael B., Peoria, USA 13 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Value in Santa Barbara! The Host provided a parking spot which was surely needed as the neighborhood competes for parking on the street. The place is large, with a spacious closet and bathroom. The Host had the place very clean with a pleasant fragrance. We made use of the new gas grill which worked well for our needs. The shower was difficult to access as you had to lower yourself down holding on to a towel grab bar into a recessed tub area. Although the place had been treated by pest control, there were ants in the bathroom and studio, particularly near the garbage cans and table for the coffee maker. We were able to find in Target after a couple of days, a can of Raid with Essential Oils, that took care of the ants. We also were impacted by the planned power outage which was not mentioned in the listing. This forced us to go to a hotel for 1 night so that my cPap medical equipment could operate in order to breathe at night. ##### Michael B.

It is a relatively small space, but is creatively organized.The main living space is dominated by a large comfortable bed suitable for a single or married couple. It is adjacent to a small sitting area with two comfortable chairs and a small coffee table. It has a small refrigerator, microwave oven, and a coffee maker, with the hostess providing coffee and tea materials. There is a small sink, think wet bar size, and cupboards with dishes and cups. There is a largish, closable closet for hanging clothes and storing luggage. Off the main space is a relatively large bathroom. Soaps, shampoo, and lotions are provided. Compared to the size of the main room the bathroom is quit large, but it has one unusual feature. In order to use the shower, one must step down about two feet below the level of the bathroom floor. However it works fine, but may be a problem for someone with limited mobility. There is no regular eating table in the apartment, but two high quality TV tables are provided. However, just outside the entrance is an enclosed, private patio, which does include a table and chairs. It is a good place to be in good weather. Electronically, it provides a good quality TV, with a lot of program options. Its internet/wifi is also quite good. My one serious complaint is that it lacks good electrical outlet access in the sitting area and night stand areas. ##### Lyle P.
