We feel spoiled after our first Airbnb experience. Steve and Helga were a delight! Super friendly, warm, and welcoming. It felt like a friend was letting us stay in their guest house. If you're exploring the city of Santa Barbara and Los Angeles I would recommend a car for transportation to and from. There is plenty of safe parking around the well kept neighborhood. There is a parking spot available next to the guest house but it is much easier to access the house from the front. There is a great vibe left from past Airbnb guests, and Steve and Helga. First of all, you can tell the people who have stayed here really have respected the property. And then there's the little things like a few beers in the fridge which I replenished with my own liking. Small snacks of cookies, books, coffees, and everything in between. Even little chip clips. Steve and Helga have thought of everything you may have forgotten to bring for your stay. You can't go wrong in picking these Airbnb superstars. My next Airbnb host has a lot to live up to!
