Papa Dux
The Dux is has a fun, eclectic vibe. The apartment is very conveniently located..restaurants, bakeries and cafes all within walking distance. Papa Dux has a cozy outdoor space with a fire pit which we made good use of. The kitchen was well equipped and the communication with the property manager was easy.

Great location!
Papa Dux was clean and more charming than I thought it would be. The location was great for walking downtown and to the beach. Keep in mind, this is a downtown location so expect car/motorcycle noise. Debbie the Concierge was great. We had a wonderful stay!

Great location. Lovely apartment
Really enjoyed this place. It was perfect for three — my sister and her husband in the bedroom and myself in the comfortable sofa bed. Well stocked kitchen and very nice balcony. Would definitely stay again. The location was great. Close to the Funk Zone, State Street, the Presidio area and the beach.

Wonderful spot in the heart of Santa Barbara!
Wonderful weekend getaway spot in Santa Barbara that my wife and I enjoyed for the weekend! Highly-recommend the area and the Urban Wine Trail! The hosts were terrific and the place was perfect with a fire pit outside for wine and a Mountain View and bikes for enjoying SB! Thank you!!

Location is fantastic, best in SB!
We were able to walk to beach for fireworks and State St for food and drink. The bikes were great and we used them several times! AC worked great! We loved the unit and views from the deck were fantastic!
