The place was nicely appointed and we had a nice time. However the grill didn’t work. We called the owner and he couldn’t get someone to look at it for a few days but he said he would refund us $50 per day until it could be fixed. Later that week the hot water heater quit working so we had no hot water for two days. Called the owner had someone come out and fix it. The owner said he would refund two days cost because of that. We had to leave two days early due to a family medical emergency. We have yet to receive any refund from the owner, he seemed very nice but the proof is in the pudding. We probably wouldn’t rent from him again.

Our stay was just lovely. The house is cozy and super clean and has all the stuff you need for a few days. The best part is it’s literally a block or two away from anything you need… Restaurants, coffee, shopping, theaters, or whatever you’re into in downtown State Street area. The decor is a beachy coastal, everything is nice and light and bright.
Josef the owner was very attentive and checked in with us, and left us a lovely welcome basket with wine and cookies and snacks, along with the parking pass you need for parking across the street.
Although, no parking, there is a small parking lot across the street and it is safe. We were there for a wedding, and we were able to walk to the courthouse, and also to the nearby Inn where the reception was. Great location.

The house was beautiful and clean. There was a nice backyard patio with a propane fireplace and many beautiful plants and a gorgeous palm tree.it was a nice place to have morning coffee. The location was convenient and in walking distance to stores. When we first got there the house was very hot. We turned on the AC which we later found out didn’t work. It was advertised as having AC. After the house cooled naturally it wasn’t really needed. There were fans that helped with cooling it down. The property owner was most communicative the day before and of our arrival. We got a very nice welcome basket. We were disappointed that the neighborhood kitty didn’t show up but we were visited by a possum one night!
Overall a most pleasant stay. We’d definitely book again.

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Well appointed. Kitchen had many tools for cooking as well as extra mini appliances: toaster oven, ninja blender with many accessories.

My husband and I live in Oregon and our friends in Arizona. We used Santa Barbara as a meeting place. We stayed a week at Josef's property and could not have enjoyed ourselves more. The large living space had a place for everyone to sit and relax. The kitchen was well stocked to prepare a few meals. On the days we did not feel like cooking for ourselves there were many nearby restaurants to choose from. We would definitely stay again.

We had an incredible time in Santa Barbara! The home was in a great location for walking to State Street. The home had a large kitchen with everything we needed. Josef was a great communicator and was accommodating of our needs on the day of check in as we had a wedding at the same time.

It was an amazing home in a great location and beautifully appointed. They even had a basket with wine and a few snacks. I haven’t seen that in quite a while. The only negative, which is truly minor, is there was no ice maker, and no ice trays to make ice. It is just nice to have the option. Enjoy your stay, as I truly enjoyed the home.

We had a wonderful stay here. Perfect location, clean and well appointed. Love that the host thought of the little details to make the stay so comfortable.

This property was top notch! The house and outside accommodations were the best. The kitchen was large enough for all to 'hang out' and enjoy cocktails and appetizers. The outside seating and fire pit were great in the evening. This is a 'must stay' place to go to when in Santa Barbara. It is a few blocks off of State Street that offers lots of dining options and shopping. We will keep this VRBO in mind for the next visit, since we have family in Santa Barbara.

This house is a great place to stay to experience Santa Barbara. Close to everything. Easy in and out. The house has everything you need, the appliances are high end, beds comfortable. My only small criticism is that there is not an ice maker, nor ice trays. Other than that, everything was perfect!

This is such a pretty house equipped with everything you could need for your stay, particularly appreciated the very generous welcome basket of goodies which was left for us when we arrived, just what you need after a long journey. Comfy beds and the property is nice and close to restaurants and shops so a handy location. Communication with the host was excellent.

The renting process was seamless. Josef was a pleasure in which to work. The home was exactly as advertised, very well appointed. Parking can be a challenge (if you have more than one vehicle),but we were able to work around it. Walkable to State Street and all of its great shops, restaurants and cultural activities. And thank you Josef for the lovely welcome basket!

We had the best stay at Casa Figueroa. Parking and check in were extremely easy, and the house itself is adorable, meticulously clean, and beds were comfortable. An adorable basket of goodies at check in as well! We had one minor issue with laundry and Josef was extremely apologetic and helped us find a quick solution. The location is incredible - minutes from everything and walkable to boot. We will absolutely stay at Josef’s place again next time we are back in Santa Barbara!

The property was well equipped with those items that you may forget. Excellent location for walking downtown on State St. as well as local restaurants close by. I'd highly recommend this property.

This pretty little house features generously sized and comfortable rooms, a superbly equipped kitchen and a comfortable urban yard, where we grilled and ate. Perfect for two couples. The location is just two blocks to State Street, the exciting and beautiful main street of Santa Barbara. Excellent off-street parking in a lot across the street, and available, time-limited, on-street parking was helpful. The owner, Josef, was a pleasure to deal with both before and during the booking.

Stayed 3 nights in this great little bungalow in Santa Barbara. Josef is an incredibly attentive and welcoming host. Very clean house and has amazing attention to every detail of what you'd need for a perfect stay in SB is all there for you. The proximity to state street is ideal. I would only dock a 1/2 star from the location as it's across the street from a auto body shop, but everything else is honestly perfect. Would highly recommend!

Top quality equipped kitchen, excellent location and comfortable beds! Plenty of room for two friends or two couples to stay in separate bedroom and bathroos.

We have visited SB many times and have stayed at many different accommodations (hotels, townhouses, vacation homes, etc.). Josef's home was definitely the best. To start, we were greeted with a Welcome Basket of various goodies. The home was very comfy. The beds were great. The kitchen is fully stocked with about any kitchen appliance ever needed. The backyard has a wonderful area for relaxing and sitting around talking about the day. Plus, there is a gas BBQ for cooking your favorite foods, a frig for your beverages, and a gas fire pit table to stay warm on chilly nights.
As for communication, Josef was fantastic. We experienced an incident that required Josef's attention. While he was out-of-town, he coordinated a contractor to fix the issue and it didn't interrupt our stay.
Additionally, you can't beat the location which is walking distance to State Street where there are many shops, restaurants, and wineries.
This house is quite the gem and Josef makes your visit special. Enjoy your time.
