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.

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!

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.

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.
