Amazing communication from the hosts on how to access the property. Free parking, wonderful location right in the heart of SB and walking distance to restaurants, beach etc. The rooms were really spacious and very clean with great bathroom facilities and ability to connect to Netflix etc. on the tv. Gorgeous rooftop, it was a bit cold when we stayed so we didn't make the most of this but can imagine it is beautiful in the summer months

Valet, housekeeping, restaurant servers, front desk all gave us top notch care. They were personable and asked great questions to meet our expectations. The view, grounds, sunsets were incredible. It’s was such a treat to be pampered especially since we were celebrating my wife’s birthday. Hope to visit again. Grateful for this memorable experience. 😉
