    The Presidio is at a great location on state street, so close to all the restaurants and bars but far enough away to be a nice quiet place to stay

    The Glass house was so beautiful and a charming place to relax during a visit to Montecito for a wedding. Just sitting out on the patio listening to the birds was exactly what I needed. The host was so sweet and had stocked the fridge and left the most gorgeous roses to welcome me. If I’m lucky enough to return to the area it will be my first choice of a place to stay. Absolutely perfect!

    Our stay at the Bath Street Inn was delightful and full of charm! The breakfast and late afternoon cookies and refreshments were delicious, the room was clean and perfect for our weekend stay. Hosts were responsive and very accommodating. Location was close proximity to downtown State St and located in a quaint residential area (easy 5 min bike ride to the downtown; bikes located around the corner next to bus stop).

    This place is charming, and the room was spacious and comfy. The location is perfect - walking distance from Downtown Santa Barbara but on a quiet street.

    Breakfast is average but adequate. The room is spacious and comfortable bed. The host upgrade our stay in a suite with a kitchen. This is wonderful because I could enjoy a quiet tea and read before going to bed.

    Charming house. Great location - walked to town centre in 5 mins. Shame not to meet the host. I think we were avoiding getting in each others way. So it was intertaction free... Which is great!

    Great location, very friendly and accommodating staff, quaint and comfortable rooms, nice patio for a quiet morning coffee... will come back. Coffee and water in the comfortable lobby were nice, too - and promptly refilled.
