My husband and I spent four nights in this studio in the south west area of Montecito. The studio is clean, nicely decorated, private, quiet, the manager was always available, super nice and helpful although we never actually met her. A bit of a drive to grocery store and restaurants, etc but would consider the unit again. As a frequent user of short term rentalI agencies, have never experienced a security deposit/fee as strict as this… this was the one thing about this unit which is a drawback.

We got no welcome text no door code sat out in the rain for 40 minutes trying to get through
The little three steps next to the bed were deadly twisted my knee. Everything else was fine.
