Loved our stay
What a wonderful and large comfortable studio. So many nice extra touches....coffee for our use, cold water, comfy bed, the box fan was perfect to keep cooler at night, so many lamps/lighting! Absolutely great location....we walked to everything. Also so quiet! Our only issue was trouble getting in the lock box to get key for front door...took many tries and then I could not get it closed either. We would love to come back!

Perfect location, perfect space
This was our second stay at this adorable place. It’s cozy, has all the amenities you need, the linens smell really clean and freshly washed, everything is clean. The bed and even the pullout are super comfy. The owners are really responsive and helpful. The location of this place is perfect for walking to the funk zone and state street. This will be our “go to” when we stay in SB. I love this place and can’t wait to come back.

Coffee on the porch.
We had a wonderful stay with attentive hosts, and we would go back in a heart beat! Walking distance to so many things. Bakeries, the pier, restaurants and even museums. The porch was a great place for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon. So glad we chose to stay here!

Enjoyed our stay - we were visiting family nearby and this place gave us some time to ourselves, too. Enjoyed the creek and birds; nearby Funk Zone was a plus. We would return! While near the train, the noise was not an issue...
