Lovely Spot in Santa Barbara

I actually thought (based on the pictures) it was just one bedroom and the futon in the living room as the "second" bedroom. But I was pleasantly surprised to have two full bedrooms with King sized beds. Cute property, I really loved that the unit was over the carport, so we didn't have to worry about my toddler stomping around. Bathroom and beds were clean. Loved the fact there wasn't a two paged detail list of "cleaning" we would be required to do before check out. We did take out our own trash and made sure we left things tidy. One thing of note, this is very close to the train station. It can be noisy, but I think I only really noticed because we tried to stay as close to bed time schedules as possible. If I was traveling without kids, I would be out an about and by the time I would be back to the apartment the trains would have been done for the day. 10/10 would recommend, and would book repeat stays.
