Casa Jardin - Boutique Suites in Downtown Santa Barbara offers accommodation within 500 metres of the centre of Santa Barbara, with free WiFi, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, an oven and a microwave. This apartment features free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. The apartment has private entrance.

We stayed at Casa Jardin for 3 nights over a long weekend and it was perfect. Our room was small but well set up so that it didn't feel too tight. There was plenty of space for our bags and clothes, the bathroom was a good size and had nice amenities, and the room still managed to squeeze in a kitchenette. Location was perfect -- right near downtown, great tasting rooms, coffee, and food. We appreciated the included white noise machine, though the street noise was not too bad. Parking on site was easy and convenient. The check-in process was also very easy and the keypad on the door worked great so that we didn't need to carry a key around. I will definitely be recommending Casa Jardin to anyone I know traveling to Santa Barbara!

A washing machine and a dryer after 10 days on the road was like finding a free bottle of champagne in the fridge! Also loved the porch and had a beer or two there in the evening.
