about staying here.
★★★★★
“We stayed in Casa Riviera Unit 11 in August 2026 for our anniversary weekend. We had our 1 year old with us as well. The amenities were great and perfect for a family of 3. We really appreciated having the pack-n-play and high chair. The location was great and walked to State Street several times during our stay. I really appreciated the quick communication from Zenstay. Only issue we had was check in was a few minutes late, but that was quickly resolved. It's understandable given that we checked in on a Saturday. The underground parking was really nice as well, since it was very hot the weekend we were in Santa Barbara, and our car didn't get hot. I would stay here again and would definitely consider staying at another Zenstay property. Thank you for the great long weekend!”

“We had the absolute best stay at this apartment! The place was beautifully furnished, immaculate, and the bedding was unbelievably comfortable—we all slept like royalty. The location couldn't have been better; it was completely walkable to everything we wanted to see, eat, and explore. On top of that, communication with the host was fantastic—super responsive, friendly, and helpful from start to finish. My friends and I are already figuring out when we can come back. Highly recommend staying here!”
