Cottage in SLO
Charming quaint home so close to downtown SLO and Cal Poly. I used the kitchen to cook for my son who’s up there for school and the kitchen was well stocked and clean. The rooms are comfortable and everything was so cute. I will definitely stay there again and again the next several years.

Cozy, Quiet Cottage
My family and I loved this cottage. The neighborhood is quiet and it is in walking distance to SLO. The cottage was clean and had ample room for the 4 of us. The kitchen is fully equipped and we loved having a washer and dryer. Our host was very responsive to our questions. We will reserve this cottage again when we return to SLO to visit our family.

Convenient SLO local
We had a comfortable stay at the Palm Street cottage, which is conveniently within a reasonable walk of downtown SLO. There was some warm times since the portable air conditioner did not reach the back bedroom but we made do with all the fans. Overall a nice stay.

Great place to stay!
Our stay at Amber’s cottage was great! So convenient to downtown and Cal Poly campus. The clientele of the neighboring motel was a little sketchy at times but overall the area was safe and convenient. House was clean & comfortable. We had a great stay!

A great escape
This was the perfect property for friends or even a young couple that wants to experience SLO for the first time or to re-experience the college life. The unit was sufficiently clean and for the most part the amenities met our needs. The only draw backs to the stay were there were not enough towels for each guest for our stay and the kitchen lacked some cutlery. However these were just minor inconveniences that did not effect our overall experience with the listing.

Cute Cottage in a Quiet Neighborhood
This is the second time my family of four has rented this little house, while visiting family in town. It’s become our favorite place to stay—just big enough for the four of us, with cute original architectural details, and an uncluttered aesthetic. The host, Amber, is kind and easy to communicate with. She responds to messages right away and is genuinely concerned about the guests’ experience. I appreciate the thought that went into supplying everything you need to make your stay pleasant: comfortable beds, plenty of pillows and towels, charging station on the nightstand, electric kettle, an iron, in-unit washer & dryer, etc. She even supplied a portable a/c and fans during a heat wave.

Convenient and Clean Little House
This little place worked well for my daughter and I. We had a short stay to visit Cal Poly SLO and we were able to walk to campus in the morning, return to the little house and then walk to downtown SLO in order to check out the Farmer's Market. It was about a 20-25 minute walk to either but perfectly doable for us. I definitely recommend this place for anyone staying in SLO looking for a comfortable two bedroom accommodation.

Charming Cottage in SLO
We had a delightful stay in this cottage. The owners have modernized the interior, and it has everything you need, but it retains the charm of an older building. The location is ideal, not far from downtown but also close to the university. We appreciate how responsive the owners were to our questions, and will definitely stay here again when we visit SLO!

Cutest cottage in SLO
Very excited I stumbled on this listing - it was the perfect place for our family (two adults + 3 kids)! Such a cute cottage in quiet neighborhood and close to everything.

Best place to stay in SLO!
We absolutely loved this little heritage home. It added to our enjoyment of SLO! House is immaculate, spacious and well decorated. Looks just like the pictures but even cuter in real life. Beds are comphy, towels are fluffy and fans keep the place cool in the heat. The hosts are kind and responsive to any questions. The booklet on site has lots of good recos on where to eat, shop, etc. Walkable to town in 15 minutes. Street parking is easy and free. 10/10 recommend. For reference we were 3 girlfriends travelling together.
