Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment is situated in vibrant Santa Barbara, just a few blocks from lively State Street. And you’ll be surrounded by plenty of cafes and restaurants, too. Or relax on this studio apartment’s shared patio area (one of two) and fire up the barbecue. This is all handy as this home only has a kitchenette, with no oven, though there’s a hob for making simple meals. Overall, this place is perfect for culture lovers who want to experience everything Santa Barbara has to offer.
