The Down Town House - Charming Bungalow In San Luis Obispo - Private parking!
About this house rental
Situated in San Luis Obispo, this charming house for $350 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Charming 1920's Bungalow right down town San Luis Obispo with free, private parking! If you like the downtown experience, this home is perfect for you. Thanks to San Luis Obispo's new hosting policy - Homestay - , we can now share our down town living experience with you. **** Looking for a place to say while running the SLO Marathon?! Our home is about a mile from the starting line and is on the route! Great for runners and the supporting cast. It's about a mile and 1/2 walk to the finish line if the team wants to come see you finish. We did this last year. Great event. ********************************************* I grew up in San Luis and probably didn’t really appreciate all it had going for it until we moved away for about 20 years. The Bay Area is nice, but there’s something about the small town vibes of San Luis that keep you from missing the Bay Area traffic. We bought the DownTown house in 2013, rented it out for a year, fixed it up, landscaped it, and moved in. First time we had ever lived in a downtown location. We actually felt kind of hip at times. If you’re looking for a quiet get away by a flowing stream, this may not be for you! If you want the urban downtown experience in a laid back town, in a cute early 1900’s home, and are ok with the city noises - then this will definitely work. You will definitely hear the street sweepers, garbage trucks, occasional sirens. All part of the downtown experience! Here's a few high points. A cute, old house. Early 1900’s. Maybe 1914. A lot of original character. Great old vertical grain doug fir floors. Upgrades – Like a new kitchen. New appliances. Countertops crafted out of 100+ year old barn wood. Forced Air including Air Conditioning. Funny you wouldn’t think you need this in SLO, but downtown can get warm. AC is a plus. Inside laundry center. It’s small, but it’s a nice convenience not usually seen in these old homes. Location – Right downtown! It’s a fantastic launching pad for visiting the city and county of San Luis Obispo. It’s just a 100 steps from the back door to a hip coffee shop – Black Horse. Four blocks to the hippest coffee shop – Scout. A block to the best tri-tip sandwich at Firestone Grill. A great park right around the corner. Great hiking right from the front door. Gus Grocery Sandwiches a nice 3 block walk. Terrace Hill is a 2 mile loop with great views of town. Wineries within 10 minutes. Beach within 15 minutes. Bike from house. Great road and mountain biking trails. Great local restaurants. Farmers Market every Thursday evening. Best Farmer’s Market in California. A block from the house. Bike night follows on the first Thursday of the month. Private parking area for up to three vehicles! A huge bonus for SLO! Leave your car and walk to everything!

Quaint 2-bedroom home right in the heart of downtown SLO. We were bringing our son back to college and this was so much better than a local hotel. Lovely home, clean, and the best location! Would definitely recommend and return!

Everything about this charming cottage exceeded expectations. Spacious, clean, comfortable. The various areas (kitchen, dining room, living room, bedrooms, bathroom) featured nice decor and were exceptionally functional. The downtown shops and restaurants were just a short walk away. The only slight complaint was a bit of noise from busy Santa Rosa Street. I would stay here again without question.

It was perfect.. perfect location within easy walking distance to everything. Beautiful home and everything supplied that is needed, even if I had not been alone, instead with a larger group. The noise from cars passing during the day is not intrusive and it was quiet all night. Will stay here again and recommend it to all my friends and family.

This location worked perfectly for our 2 night stay. In town for a wedding venue walk thru and cake and catering tasting. We were gone most of the daytime hours but were in a perfect location for walking to downtown for meals and drinks. Loved it!

If you love architecture this is your stay in San Luis Obispo. The house itself is early Craftsman with beautiful wooden floors, period glass and fixtures, and delightfully decorated. Directly across the street is one of the 26 original Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in California and then downtown SLO itself is a showcase of every architectural style dating back to the 1770s. The owners sent us some texts during our stay to make sure everything was OK & their housekeeping person obviously takes pride in their work, the house was spotless.

Everything about this property is terrific. It’s well maintained anD appointed. Comfy beds and furniture. The best aspect is it’s central location. So close to everything in SLO, and easy access to everything on the central coast. We would do definitely return!

We stayed at this property during a storm and appreciated how quick and efficient the house's heating system was especially considering how old the house is. The house was very clean and comes with off street parking. The ad stated there were snacks but there weren't any. We did appreciate the coffee that was offered. We'd stay here again. The location is excellent.

This is a fabulous place to stay. It is a quaint little cottage in the heart of downtown. Perfectly appointed and immaculately clean. Our visit to SLO was to see our grandson who is in college there. It was a perfect spot to spend time with him and cook some of his favorite meals. We will definitely return! Thanks for your wonderful rental.
