Our studio is located in a Spanish courtyard within close walking distance of historic downtown San Luis Obispo, Madonna Mountain, and the 101 North & South Fwy. Enjoy the sound of bubbling fountains and the chirping of birds from the lovebird aviary while you enjoy the private patio, well equipped home, and cable TV/Apple TV. Stroll downtown for a cup of coffee or brew a fresh cup at home with the Keurig maker. On the off chance it's cold, cozy up by the fireplace with a movie and local wine!

This home is very unique. It's in a Spanish courtyard. The house that it shares the property with is very old. This home was actually recently built so everything is only a few years old.
Other Notes:
There is an aviary of lovebirds and budgies outside (attached to the main house). They're not very loud but you can hear them if you're sitting on the patio.
There are 3 little dogs on the property. They will not be loose in the yard but you may hear them at some point. They're very sweet and they don't bark a lot but just a heads up. They do not live in the house that is available. Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate additional pets.
NOTE: This home is on the first floor.

I am available to my guests by phone/e-mail throughout their stay. I come by the main home on the property daily so I am around and available to answer any questions but respect the privacy of those that stay with us.
Other things to note
There are birds and fountains on-site. The noise from the fountains or birds may pose a problem for very light sleepers.
