Perfect cozy and comfortable getaway two blocks from Oldtown State Street! | House in Santa Barbara
2 Bedroom House in Lower State, Santa Barbara
Charming and cozy little house in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara built in 1915. The rooms are small (Think Parisian Hotel for a size comparison) but well-appointed and quaint. You'll find a place to hang your hat, charge your phone, rest your fee, set your glass and simply relax.
Great for guests who want to experience a genuine downtown local experience. A few blocks from the Saturday Farmer's Market. Two blocks east of State Street and Joe's Cafe (highly recommended), French Press Coffee, theaters, shopping...
The back yard is the sanctuary and my favorite place to take afternoon naps under the wisteria.
Because the house is in the middle of downtown, it is not as quiet as a country mouse. If you want 100% quiet, you will not want to stay here. That being said, I haven't lived in this neighborhood for many years and I have rarely been bothered by the traffic. But the house IS located on a city street and there ARE cars on this street.
The parking spot in my driveway is very small. Guests have fit a Land Rover in and I fit my Tahoe in (very snugly). If you are uncomfortable backing into a tight parking space, you can park overnight on the street. There is a City lot two blocks away for longer, overnight parking for a small fee.
The house is not air-conditioned. There are a few days out of the year when one might want air-conditioning, but I provide fans for the rooms and the dutch door in the front and french door in the back, as well as a few windows provide cross-ventilation on those few hot days. If you need air-conditioning, you may not want to stay here.
My travels around the world have taken me to some incredible hotels and I owned and operated a yacht charter business for 12 years (as Chef, Steward, First Mate and Cruise Director), taking guests to the from the Channel Islands in five star luxury so attention to comfort is of upmost importance to me. The house is equipped with a full kitchen, quality linens, towels, comfortable rugs and furnishings, and if you've forgotten your toothbrush, razor, sunscreen, hair dryer, or shaving cream, you don't have to walk the (one block) down the street to the store.
There are bicycles (and helmuts/locks) for your use, a BBQ for backyard entertaining, a Bose portable music system that connects to your music library so you can have your music in any room, a game table for an impromptu chess, backgammon, or card game, and a new TV with Netflix and Wi Fi.
A few times per year, my neighbor has a party in his backyard. I never know when it's going to happen. Although they have generally been good about abiding by the noise curfew of 10 pm, I cannot guarantee that there would be some noise coming from the backyard at some point throughout the year. If that happens, a call to me and me stopping by to speak to them generally brings the noise level down! They are very respectful. They just like to have fun sometimes.
