Yes, that's the one I meant. My last GF before my wife got transferred there and I made a number of visits. Not many of us can afford it -- she was paying $1400/month for a broom closet, and that was 1987 dollars -- but as she said, everyone ought to live in someplace like Santa Barbara for a while. What a beautiful place.
