Always enjoy my stay in this place. True old Santa Barbara charm in a great location, easy walking distance to the harbor, and good mix of neighborhood feel with easy access to services. Well appointed, clean, and just the right amount of comfy without being kitchy.

Great location and value

I absolutely loved staying here. The only downside is because it’s an old building the noise travels easily , if you’re not ok with a little noise this isn’t for you. The kitchen is stocked with common items and utensils too!will stay here again !

Fantastic location

Great location walking distance from everything in town. Easy to get in and out of and everything needed in this studio accommodation. The bed was comfortable a bit on the small size for me but I am a very tall man.

Nice studio close to the harbor

The studio is spacious and comfortable. There is a full kitchen with huge fridge. A laundry is also available inside the building. The locatio is nice and quiet, just 5 min walk to the harbor and the sea, where you can go sailing, kayaking or stand up paddle and 10 min biking to the city centre.

Long term stay

The owner is amazing at responding to any needs you may have in a timely manner. Gave a Personal tour of the property Which was helpful since the laundry and trash are on the opposite side of the building. Everything you will need is stocked for a long term stay ! Bed is very comfortable and fans are available for warmer nights. Stayed here a month and a half. Great experience ! Near the warf and downtown ! Recommend

Great West Beach Spot

Room was small but the thoughtful layout meant that the space felt much bigger than the square footage would indicate. The studio was well appointed and had everything one would need for even an extended stay. Fantastic location for folks interested in beaches, however be prepared for a bit if a walk to State St and downtown. Only downside it that the gorgeous older building does Not have great sound proofing and transferred sound from other units can be readily heard even at normal speaking voices or activity.

Would stay again, but had a small mishap

When I arrived at the studio apartment it appeared the unit was not cleaned as there was trash around the unit and the bed was unmade. I contacted the host who immediately sent cleaners to the unit and I was offered a free upgrade for a few days as well. Overall I appreciated the prompt communication and effort that was made to correct the situation, and I would stay at this property again as the units themselves were nice and the location was great.

Really quiet, clean and convenient

I travel to Santa Barbara for work regularly and prefer a place with a kitchen over a standard hotel. I've stayed in a few units at the 201 Bath building and they've all been clean, quiet and consistent, which is what I'm looking for. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy walk to the beach and a quiet neighborhood.

Book it!

What a wonderful place! I cannot say enough good things about this property- it was perfectly located two blocks from the harbor, extremely clean, beautifully updated, functional and well equipped space, very secure and safe building, lovely property, excellent value, well managed, quiet, parking within a block was not an issue even on the weekend… it was perfect. This place well exceeded my expectations and I was sad to leave! I’ll be back.
