    My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend away from home. Very comfortable, very clean and in a great location. Easy walking distance to historic downtown and also in a very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Would highly recommend to a couple looking for a cozy place to spend a quiet weekend.

    We had such a wonderful stay in San Luis Obispo — my hometown — and this VRBO made the visit even better. The property was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly located for enjoying everything SLO has to offer. It felt like coming home again. The hosts were responsive, thoughtful, and made check-in simple. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic and relaxing SLO experience.

    If I could give more stars for location I would! Walking distance to downtown SLO and an easy drive to campus or Pismo/Avila! The check-in process was completely seamless and the host checked in with me to make sure we were comfortable. The backyard was very pleasant to sit outside with some coffee! This is my 2nd stay here and I already have a 3rd booked to visit my Mustang!

    Great stay visiting our college town. We loved being walking distance to town to hit up our favorite restaurants college bars. The biggest win was being right around the corner from our favorite sandwich spot - High Street Deli. The best sandwich you will ever have. We loved being able to bring our dog who enjoyed the backyard. We struggled a bit working remotely with the WiFi but made do. Oh - so many great walkable coffee shops. Definitely do that vs the k cup machine at the house :)We will visit again.

    The property is an ideal large apartment with stand alone backyard. Everything worked just fine. Plenty of storage for longer term stays (3 weeks for us) and we loved the location. Kitchen was well stocked and had all the necessary full size appliances. Leslie was very responsive and helpful.

    The property was very comfortable and convenient. Great location. Within walking distance to downtown, restaurants and coffee shops. Easy to get on the highway to visit other areas. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking simple meals. The downstairs felt a bit cold compared to the upper floor but I was mostly down there to sleep and warm enough overnight with the bedding.

    Great location and quiet. The house provided everything that I needed including nice walk into town. Because of the winter season, it was colder in the house than expected but was manageable. The bedroom downstairs is colder as there is no central air but was heated using a portable heater while the upstairs is heated by gas fireplace. Owner is responsive.

    My wife and I spent a few days here visiting our son at Cal Poly. The space was perfect for us and we chose it for the extra bathroom and sleeping space as an option to have him stay with us if he wanted. Although he didn’t, we loved the proximity to downtown, school, shops and everything SLO has to offer. Communication was fantastic - we will likely stay again!

    A fun, unique property. The layout was a little quirky (we’re guessing a converted/reno’d garage?) but it was an attractive and well appointed property. Bonus points for the incredible downstairs bathroom aesthetic and pretty little yard! All in all a comfortable stay in a beautiful area.

    This property has what you need, most appreciated was the well equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. The tiny backyard is nice to enjoy coffee and the paper and the bed is comfortable. The layout is odd with the living space upstairs and bedroom open and on the entry level, the only usable shower is the upstairs one since it has a normal shower head--but you only need one, so that works too! Housing in this area is dense so you do hear a lot of other people around you, unless you close up all the windows.

    This place was newly built and had very modern, high-quality amenities. I loved that there was a Keurig upstairs and down keeping the upstairs private, if more than two people were staying in the suite. The kitchen upstairs was well equipped, but we stayed downstairs generally and ate out. The two-story set up is interesting but manageable. Great neighborhood to walk in after dinner or to walk from to go into town without having to worry about parking. We never needed AC, evenings were beautiful, cool and windows were screened. Parking space out front was easy and accessible.

    This property was perfect for just passing thru with our two dogs. Loved that the bedroom had a door to access the private backyard. Floors and backyard were a little dirty and the cleaning smell was strong throughout the house, but overall an enjoyable night stay made super easy by the management company.
