This place was attractive when I booked it last year in early March via Expedia. I love Santa Barbara and the people. The B&B is only steps from the beach. Amenities include bikes, community kitchen and a community porch with a nice view of the city’s residential area. Dwelling is aged, however it’s embraced by its vintage charm with an Edwardian look. I really did appreciate the unique appeal. I booked for two nights because I wanted to make the most out of my Santa Barbara beach trip. However, one morning me and my boyfriend were getting ready to bike ride to Stearn’s Wharf where the property manager appeared and asked who we were. I told her my name, room number and length of stay. Then she was able to pin point who I was. We laughed it off with her because we knew it was just a misunderstanding. Then she said, “Sorry, I’m just xenophobic.” Then my smile turned serious. I couldn’t believe she openly said that. It’s very discriminatory. Unfortunately I had another night there. I did not feel comfortable there for the remainder of my stay. We stayed longer out on State Street and the boardwalk than enjoying the amenities offered. It’s definitely a cute B&B, but because of that comment I felt unwelcomed and out of place, I do not recommend it here. I would never return here, but definitely yes to the City of Santa Barbara. Just elsewhere.
However I was there a year and a half ago so it’s possible that management has changed. If so, I’d consider returning. Just goes to show Customer Service outweighs amenities and appeal.

HIGH CRIME AREA
The place is cute and close to the beach but wish I had been warned of crime. Our bikes were stolen off of our truck within hours of arriving. Ruined our trip and cost us thousands of dollars. Also bed is super hard and I didn't sleep at all here.
