Great Stay and Management

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.

Clean and centrally located

The property was nicely updated, interesting layout with the kitchen upstairs. Was not aware there was no A/C on the property until arrival, however the property management was excellent in communicating and purchased a personal fan the next day after I arrived.

A great little place to stay

Location is fantastic, close to High Street Deli and very walkable to downtown. Place is really cute and had everything we needed. We brought our dogs and appreciated the enclosed back yard. Would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable stay in SLO

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 Accommodations!

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!

Quaint and cozy bungalow stay in SLO

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.

Quick SLO Getaway

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.

Great Location!

We enjoyed our stay in San Luis Obispo. This place has a great location - cute neighborhood and easy walking distance to downtown. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was well equipped, and the supplies were high quality (TP, tissues, shampoo, etc.). The back yard was perfect for our dog. Stacy was very responsive and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend it if it fits your needs!

Excellent service and an attractive place to stay

The staff bent over backwards to accommodate our needs. We needed a place to stay, with a yard for our dog, while our house was being tented for termites. We had most of the comforts of home, while we had to be out of our house. Plenty of space to bring some of the stuff we had to move out of our house. Beautiful views, lovely neighborhood. We were very comfortable.

Two story in great neighborhood

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.

Nice extended stay for a couple and a dog

This apartment is one of two in a converted garage with parking right outside the door. It's behind a house in old town SLO and and easy walk to just about everything you could need. It's also high ground during a driving rain (safety tip!). A vestibule just inside the door turned into a great place to shed gear after walking in the rain or at the beach. That and the laundry and master suite are on the bottom floor. There is also a nice walk-in closet area with several rods for hanging clothes, shelves and drawers.The master bathtub would be a challenge for anyone who is not nimble. The kitchen upstairs is nice, but minimally equipped. The living room is as small as it looks in the pictures! If you have a dog, we found a great dog beach just north of Morro Bay. Park in the lot at the 2nd left after the last light in town. Avila Beach is also an off-leash area until 10AM. Our dog would not use the astroturf in the nice little yard outside the master bedroom door, so we took a few more walks than we'd planned!

Great location

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.

Great, walkable location in historic SLO

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.

Mixed Review

Overall the property was well equipped and in a good neighborhood within walking distance to the downtown area. Our issue was with the disgusting mattress, if we hand not removed the sheets (not requested) we would never have seen the stains that were all over the mattress. Very disappointing.

Nice home and location

This property was very well described and no surprises. The location was also great…walking distance to the historic downtown. Very comfortable bed, updated appliances and perfect little enclosed backyard for our dog to stretch her legs off leash.
