Technical information in Santa Barbara
How to get to Santa Barbara from Moscow
The most convenient way to fly from our capital to Santa Barbara is on one of the Aeroflot flights with a transfer in Los Angeles. You will have to spend about eighteen hours on the road, so stock up on books and your favorite audio recordings.
There are other options - flights with two transfers (usually they are cheaper). These are offered by British Airways, Lufthansa, etc. Transfers are made in European cities (don’t forget to check about the need for a transit visa), or in New York or Los Angeles. Travel time is more than twenty hours, depending on the duration of the transfer.
In addition, you can drive from Los Angeles and other nearby cities to Santa Barbara by rented car, and continue your trip with it, because this is the best option for moving around the country.

Housing in Santa Barbara
I already mentioned Santa Barbara in the article about road No. 1, which stretches along Pacific Ocean from Mexico to Canada. There I told you that we spent the night in a car, so we were not able to appreciate the delights of local hotels for ourselves. We rarely spent the night in hotels while traveling around the States, preferring mostly campsites.
However, in Santa Barbara you can count about a hundred hotels, inns, motels, hostels and other pleasant places to stay. Finding a hotel room is as easy as shelling pears, for this you can use the form Search engine for hotels Hoteluk, which collects in one place information on a huge variety of hotels, hostels and motels from sites such as Booking, Agoda, and allows you to compare prices and choose the best options:
In Santa Barbara there are both little-known hotels and representatives of world-famous chains: Best Western, Holiday Inn, Hyatt, etc.
Those who love savings and interesting options can use the Airbnb website - a resource that we actively used both in the States and in Mexico, because we often found the optimal price-quality ratio there. This site offers many housing options from private owners, and with guarantees.
Perhaps you will also find something for yourself:
By clicking on the last link, you will be taken to a section where all the accommodation options offered on Airbnb in the States will be collected. There you can enter in the upper left corner the name of the city you are interested in, and you will receive a selection of housing specifically for it, plus you have the opportunity to “play” with other parameters to select the options that best suit your personal needs (the picture is enlarged):
For details about the work of the Airbnb service and the procedure for making a reservation, as well as a $20 bonus for the first booking (for unregistered users), look in my instruction article. There are also reviews and links to specific rooms and apartments that Andryusiks and I rented.
Very economical travelers can use the services of couchsurfing.org. We have never tried it yet.
