Single, king size bed and plenty of space for 2 people. Definitely will book here when I'm back. Convenient to walk downtown Santa Barbara.

Our stay at Casa Rivera was excellent. The location was right down town and very convenient, with ample parking in a private garage below our building. The room was very clean, spacious and well appinted. In addition we had a nice private patio to enjoy with a beautiful view of the mountains. The communication with our host was top notch. The responses to our questions were very prompt. We highly recommend Casa Riviera.
