Guests have their own private entrance to the room and retrieve the key from a lockbox upon arrival, so check-in can be entirely self-executed, but we do try to be home to greet our guests when they arrive. There are two rooms listed on Airbnb, so there may be other guests on the property at the same time. Some days, we are at our other home, and thus guests sometimes have the property all to themselves. Other days, only one of us is home. On weekends, we are both usually home. If we are not on site, we are always available on our cell phones 24/7 to answer any questions guests may have. Other things to note *TOT (Transient Occupancy Tax) and TBID (Santa Barbara South Coast Tourism Business Improvement District Fee) imposed by Santa Barbara are NOT included in the pricing. TOT is currently 14% of the total room charge plus cleaning fee and TBID is 2% per night on the room charge. These taxes will be collected before check-in through the Airbnb app. These taxes are subject to change and the then-currently applicable taxes will be collected prior to your stay. * $75 cleaning fee per stay. * Weekday pricing (Sunday-Thursday nights) is slightly lower than weekend pricing. * Weekend price (Friday and Saturday night) is slightly higher than weekday pricing. *Pricing may vary seasonally. Winter pricing tends to be the most advantageous.
